Sony Fined for Violating Standard-Essential Patent

2017/03/27

A Beijing court ruled that Sony Mobile Communications (China) infringed on the patent of a lesser-known Chinese internet company and ordered the Japanese-funded company to pay more than 8.6 million yuan ($1.3 million) in damages.
Xidian Jietong, a wireless network communications company headquartered in Xi'an, capital of Shanxi province in Northwest China, filed the lawsuit against Sony in June 2015, claiming the latter had violated its patent rights relating to wireless local area network technology.
The Beijing Intellectual Property Court ruled against Sony and told the company to compensate Xidian Jietong for economic losses, pay more than 474,000 yuan in other expenditures and cease the production and sale of mobile phones equipped with the technology.
