  • The Chinese court's verdict is the first of several other cases filed by Huawei. The Chinese company filed lawsuits against the South Korean technology giant in China and the US, claiming infringements of patents.

  • Two Chinese electronic companies and three Samsung units (Samsung China Investment, and Huizhou and Tianjin units) were sued.

    Samsung allegedly manufactured and sold over 20 kinds of smartphones and tablets that infringed the patent.

    Huawei sought compensation for over 30 million Samsung products sold for $12.7bn.

    The court directed the five firms to stop infringing Huawei's copyrights and ordered Samsung to pay the damage.

    He added, "Over many years, Samsung Electronics has pioneered the development of innovative mobile technologies through continuous investment in R&D to provide consumers with a wide selection of innovative products."

  • Information

    Intellectual property disputes

  • Intellectual property disputes that pitted one technology giant against another were more common a few years ago; in recent times such disputes have been fought out of the public eye. Even in the current case, the court redacted several details due to commercial privacy concerns.

  • Victory Tempered?

    Could Huawei face sales ban in the UK?

    Credits:
  • Huawei's victory, however, has been tempered as it coincided with the High Court of England and Wales's judgment that it could face a sales ban in the UK.

    The ruling, though not final, stated Huawei must pay American firm Unwired Planet a global fee for 4G patents or face a ban.

    Huawei argued Unwired sought a very high amount, which the court agreed with.
