[Interpretation of a picture] Huawei has made a ＂killer＂ against Samsung. Made in China has made a counterattack!

On 25th, Huawei announced that it had filed an intellectual property lawsuit against Samsung in the Northern District Court of California and the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court of China. In this lawsuit, Huawei asked Samsung to compensate Huawei for its intellectual property infringement. What patents are involved in this lawsuit?

In response to Huawei’ s lawsuit, Samsung responded on the 25 th thatIt will "evaluate the lawsuit and safeguard Samsung’s business interests in an appropriate form".Samsung executives in charge of intellectual property rights said that they did not rule out launching a counterclaim against Huawei.

Perhaps in the impression of many people, in the past, China products were always labeled as "shanzhai" and "pirated", and China enterprises were often the defendants in such patent lawsuits. In 2013, Apple teamed up with Microsoft to sue Huawei. In 3 years, Huawei was sued 54 times! What are the chances of Huawei becoming the plaintiff and Huawei v. Samsung?

However, historically, it is a long process to resolve patent disputes between mobile phones. Industry insiders expect that it will take some time for everyone to know whether Huawei can win this lawsuit in the end.

In 2010, Apple filed a lawsuit against HTC.

Nearly two years later, the US International Trade Commission found that HTC infringed Apple’s iPhone patent and imposed an import ban on smartphones involving this patent. In 2012, HTC settled with Apple.

In 2011, Apple filed a patent lawsuit against Samsung.

After years of repeated tug-of-war, in December 2015, Samsung agreed to pay Apple a patent loss of up to $548 million.

In 2014, Ericsson sued Xiaomi in India.

Ericsson sued Xiaomi for allegedly infringing eight patents of ARM, EDGE, 3G and other related technologies, which eventually led to some mobile phone products of Xiaomi not being allowed to "enter" the Indian market.

Why is patent so important to communication companies? Do you know how many patents are involved behind a smart phone?

No wonder there is a saying circulating in the enterprise circle: "Third-rate enterprises sell coolies, second-rate enterprises sell products, and first-class enterprises make patents." In recent years, enterprises in China have devoted themselves to technology research and development, and already have strong technical strength.

According to professional analysis, China’s mobile phone brand has entered a period of high growth overseas, and "Made in China" has begun to counterattack and become a "China brand", which has been widely recognized by the world.

No matter who wins or loses this intellectual property lawsuit, it can at least prove that China Manufacturing is no longer synonymous with "shanzhai" and "low quality", but also has the ability to innovate. It is the premise of all development for enterprises to establish intellectual property awareness and strive to create a good environment for intellectual property protection. Only by finding a breakthrough in technology and patents and forming enough differentiated competitive advantages can they occupy a place in the future market!
