Huawei found guilty of infringing 4g lte patents

Huawei was recently forced out of the US market - at least partially - and suffered huge losses, but the problems don't seem to stop. The jury of the United States District Court for Texas has found the Chinese company guilty of multiple patent infringements.

Huawei should pay about 10.5 million dollars to infringe 5 patents

As early as 2014, the US company PanOptis reportedly tried to contact Huawei and schedule meetings to discuss the violations, and even offered reasonable and non-discriminatory conditions to license patents so that Huawei can continue to use those technologies. After three consecutive years and numerous letters, the Chinese tech giant refused to respond, which is why in October 2017 PanOptis had to file a complaint with the authorities.

Huawei allegedly infringed multiple patents (five in total) regarding 4G LTE connectivity on different mobile devices. We are talking about LTE technologies necessary to decode image and sound data. Interestingly, the complaint only mentions three devices: Nexus 6P, Mate 9, and P8 Lite.

Of course, the Chinese company will appeal the case, but if found guilty, the firm would have to pay a $ 10.5 million fine for those patents. It may not sound like much, but it could still make Huawei bleed in a market that's already lost to them.

We have also recently learned that Japan is going to ban Hawuei's participation in the development of 5G networks in that country, one more problem for the Chinese smartphone giant.
