Huawei Wins Against Samsung in 2 Patent Infringement Cases

2018/01/11

This morning (Jan 11), Shenzhen IP Court pronounced judgments of 2 cases concerning HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD (HUAWEI) against Samsung (China) Investment Co., LTD (Samsung), all concluding with Huawei’s winning.

In May, 2016, the plaintiff HUAWEI filed a patent litigation against Samsung and other defendants to the Shenzhen Municipality Intermediate People’s Court that the latter infringed its’ patent. One and a half years later after the parties’ intense battle, the final result was pronounced today.
 
HUAWEI claimed that the defendants infringed the involved patents by way of manufacture, sale, offering to sale and import without licensing; and even failing to comply with FRAND (Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discrimnitary) during the 5-year license negotiation, meaning that the defendants have obvious faults. Therefore, HUAWEI claimed that the defendants should stop the involved infringing behaviors.
 
In the infringement case involving No. 201110269715.3 patent (method and device for sending control signaling), Samsung and other 3 defendants were judged to stop their infringement. And in the infringement case involving No. 201010137731.2 patent (method, base station, and user equipment for feeding back ACK/NACK information for carrier aggregation), the court ruled that Samsung and other 2 defendants should stop their infringement, too.
