Samsung vs. Huawei patent war continues: Samsung fires back
This is the latest round in the ongoing barrage between Huawei and Samsung. The Chinese manufacturer in May filed lawsuits against Samsung in both the United States and China, seeking compensation for alleged unlicensed use of its 4G tech, along with unspecified infringements relating to OS and system software. The two lawsuits were an unusual move for a Chinese company at the time, forecasting a trend of Chinese tech companies gaining more confidence in asserting their intellectual property rights. Some days later, the Korean manufacturer hinted that it will be filing a countersuit.
Samsung said Friday in an official e-mailed statement:
We have faithfully negotiated with other patent holders for the fair licensing of technology. However, despite our best efforts to resolve this matter amicably, it has regrettably become necessary to take legal action in order to defend our intellectual property.
A Huawei spokesporeson has said that the company had not yet received an official complaint from Samsung, noting that it would “review any documentation and defend ourselves as appropriate when we do [receive an official complaint]”.
