Samsung vs Huawei
Information released by a Chinese court confirmed today that Huawei has won a patent infringement lawsuit against Samsung. The court ruled that Samsung infringed on two of Huawei's patents involving fourth-generation phone technology.
Samsung has been ordered to stop selling or manufacturing the products infringing on these patents immediately but the ruling doesn't mention any specific smartphone models.
Shenzhen Intermediate Court ruled in Huawei's favor after observing that Samsung had “maliciously delayed negotiations” that started on July 11 and therefore it was “obviously at fault.”
Samsung is now considering its legal options. The company said that it's going to “thoroughly review the court's decision and determine appropriate responses.”
