Prosecution claims 80 million were Huawei, Samsung China into "infringement" strife-Huawei, Samsung, patent-IT information
On July 6, Huawei Terminal company insiders confirmed to reporters, in Shenzhen, the company filed a lawsuit against Samsung and Quanzhou . "It's just this company claims one in the series of the infringed patents. The purpose of seeking a judicial decision, mainly to safeguard their rights and interests are not being illegally used and given reasonable compensation. ”
However, Samsung violated the patent, claim number and other details, the source said, in the course of proceedings, Huawei does not comment on details of the case.
In addition, Samsung China recently came news of the reduced staff in China. According to the Korea Herald, reported that in 2013, when Samsung was smart phone in China while leading, a total of 35,600 employees in China, by the year 2015, has been cut to 8580.
In this regard, the Samsung official said in an interview in China, news on reducing China's regional staff is not solid, the media translation errors. "8,580 refers to the number of new employees recruited last year, not all employees. Some lines business does not rule out reducing personnel, but are within the normal range of movement. "Sued a case, the person does not give more responses.
Senior communication industry watchers Zeng Tao believes that with the high-end phone market saturated, as well as the rise of China's domestic brands, Samsung will inevitably enter the bottleneck in the Chinese market. Huawei to launch patent battles show, when the industry matured, Chinese brands have the opportunity to come from behind.
Claims 80 million Yuan
According to Quanzhou city intermediate people's Court recently disclosed information display, Huawei Terminal limited prosecution of Samsung Electronics, Ltd (hereinafter "Huizhou Samsung"), Tianjin Samsung communication technology limited (hereinafter "Tianjin Samsung"), a telecommunications company and an electric company in Quanzhou, Fujian province, five.
Huawei Terminal Company, in early 2010, the company "can be applied to the Terminal component of the processing methods and user equipment" technical solutions proposed to the State intellectual property office patent application. After examination as to substance, the application on June 5, 2011 was awarded invention patent, patent number ZL201010104157.0. The patent is currently valid, are protected by law. Samsung's production and sale of 16 products such as k-series SM-G9300, SM-G9350 violation of the patent.
Huawei believes that Samsung in Huizhou and Tianjin Samsung, without a permit, to produce business for mass production, use, sale, offering for sale the accused infringing products; TriStar investment company, Fujian province, a telecommunications company, Quanzhou electric company to produce business for sale, offering for sale the accused infringing products. These acts are violations of the Huawei Terminal company involved in patent enjoying the invention patent.
Proceedings, Huawei has asked the defendant to stop the infringing act immediately; Tianjin, Huizhou, Samsung, Samsung and Samsung investment company jointly and severally liable for 80 million Yuan, Tianjin, Huizhou, Samsung, Samsung, Samsung, Huawei Terminal investment company jointly and severally bear reasonable expenses paid by the company to stop the infringing act 500,000 yuan.
Allbright law firm, Shanghai lawyer Song Zhengqi told reporters in view, from a range of intellectual property rights cases, background is very complex, even if a court case can hardly be ruling out. As a large volume of two technology companies, lawyers on both sides need to constantly field of proof and investigation. "Intellectual property cases for at least six months to a year to investigate, and final compensation amount will be less than the amount requested. ”
Patent defense
In essence, patent wars in the communications industry have become commonplace, even referred to as "judicial sale". In March 2015, Ericsson in United States native to Apple lawsuit and injunctions, will involve a number of underlying communications and cell phone patents a patent, at the end of last year, the two sides reached a settlement. Subsequently, Ericsson India market of millet company also initiated patent litigation.
Recently, Qualcomm and Meizu patent disputes are inconsistent and inconclusive. In any case, the patent is also the premise of war requires sufficient technical reserves.
Huawei, official data shows, Huawei has more than 9,800 pieces of United States patents, with more than 7,400 pieces of communication technology patents, more than 2,200 pieces of digital processing technology, patents, and two patents technology a component of the whole reserve 98%.
According to the Korea media reports, by the end of last year, Samsung Electronics patent applications reached 110,145 new threat definitions. Among them, one-third to United States patent applications, to 38,809. However, the two sides had not signed a patent cross-licensing agreement .
Therefore, the Huawei official previously said Huawei just for self-preservation and defense of intellectual property rights, not attacking other people's arms. Huawei wants to use its patented vendors can provide a reasonable rate of return, these will be used to offset the huge cost of itself for patent research and development investment.
Zeng Tao believes that development of the mobile phone industry has entered a steady trend down even, compared with qualitative changes in 2G to 3G, mobile industry now are far more innovative, which is Samsung and Apple enter the important cause of bottlenecks.
However, for Chinese-made brands, can rely on sophisticated technology to reduce costs, eventually relying on price to occupy the market.
"Huawei Samsung launched patent litigation is an iconic event, to some extent, it is also a marketing tool. At least in some technical aspects, with a strength with the international technology giant rival. "Zeng Tao added.
Now, Apple has signed a patent cross-license agreement with Huawei. State intellectual property office filing information display, Huawei is licensed to Apple patent 769, Apple licensed patent 98 to Huawei, covering GSM, UMTS, LTE and other wireless communication technologies.
Song Zhengqi believes that when it comes to specific cases, patent reserve, brand awareness, market share is not important, important is to see whether the party being sued against the other patents in a particular area. Huawei's recent licensing with Apple and Samsung launched the lawsuit has implications for domestic enterprises, in the field of protection of intellectual property rights also played a very good role.
遭华为起诉索赔8000万，
三星中国陷“侵权”纷争 - 华为,
三星,专利 - IT资讯
7月6日，华为终端公司内部人士向记者证实，华为在深圳中院和泉州中院对三星提起了诉讼。“这只是本次华为主张一系列被侵权专利中的一件。寻求司法裁决的目的，主要是维护自身权益不被非法使用及获得合理补偿。”
不过，对于三星具体侵犯了哪些专利、索赔多少等细节，该人士表示，诉讼过程中，华为不方便评论案件细节。
除此以外，三星中国近日还传出了缩减中国区员工的消息。据《韩国先驱报》报道，2013年，当三星还是中国智能手机龙头时，其在中国共有3.56万名员工，到2015年时，已经裁员至8580人。
对此，三星中国区相关负责人在接受记者采访时表示，关于缩减中国区员工的消息不实，系该媒体翻译错误。“8580名是指去年招聘的新员工数字，并非全部员工数量。有些条线业务不排除减少人员，但都是正常范围内的流动。”对于遭遇起诉一事案件，该人士并没有给出更多回应。
资深通信行业观察人士曾韬认为，随着高端手机市场的饱和，以及中国国产品牌的崛起，三星公司在中国市场将不可避免地进入瓶颈期。华为发起的专利战恰好说明，当行业进入成熟期，中国品牌也有后来居上的机会。
索赔8000万元
据泉州市中级人民法院近日披露的信息显示，华为终端有限公司起诉的对象有惠州三星电子有限公司（以下简称“惠州三星”）、天津三星通信技术有限公司（以下简称“天津三星”）、福建省某电讯公司及泉州某电器公司等五家。
华为终端公司称，2010年年初，公司就“一种可应用于终端组件显示的处理方法和用户设备”的技术方案向国家知识产权局提出发明专利申请。经实质审查，该申请于2011年6月5日被授予发明专利权，专利号为ZL201010104157.0。该专利目前合法有效，受法律保护。而三星生产、销售的16款产品譬如盖世乐系列的SM-G9300、SM-G9350侵犯了该专利。
华为认为，惠州三星、天津三星未经许可，以生产经营为目的大量制作、使用、销售、许诺销售被控侵权产品；三星投资公司、福建省某电讯公司、泉州某电器公司以生产经营为目的销售、许诺销售被控侵权产品。上述行为均侵犯了华为终端公司对涉案专利享受的发明专利权。
诉讼中，华为要求被告立即停止侵权行为；惠州三星、天津三星和三星投资公司连带赔偿8000万元，惠州三星、天津三星、三星投资公司连带承担华为终端公司为制止侵权行为所支付的合理开支50万元整。
上海市锦天城律师事务所律师宋正奇在接受记者采访时认为，从一系列的知识产权案例来看，背景都很复杂，即使法院立案，也很难有判决结果出来。作为体量庞大的两家技术公司，需要双方律师不断针对专业领域的举证和调查。“一般的知识产权案件最少也要半年到一年的时间去调查，且最终赔偿金额都会少于请求的金额。”
专利防御战
实质上，专利大战在通信行业已经司空见惯，甚至被称为“司法营销”。2015年3月，爱立信在美国本土对苹果发起诉讼并申请禁令，涉及多项基础通信专利和手机专利，去年年底，双方达成和解。随后，爱立信在印度市场也对小米公司发起了专利诉讼。
近日，高通和魅族针对专利的纷争也各执一词，并无结论。无论如何，发起专利战的前提还是要求企业有足够的技术储备。
华为官方提供的数据显示，华为拥有9800余件美国专利，其中有7400多件是通信技术专利，2200多件数字处理技术专利，这两项技术占其整个专利储备的98%。
而据韩国媒体报道，截至去年年末，三星电子累计专利申请达到11.0145万项。其中，三分之一为在美国申请的专利，达到3.8809万项。但是，双方一直没有签订过专利交叉许可协议。
因此，华为相关负责人此前曾表示，华为的知识产权只是用于自保与防御，并非进攻他人的武器。华为希望使用其专利的厂商能提供合理回报，这些将用来抵消自身为专利研发投入的巨额成本。
曾韬认为，手机终端行业的发展已经进入了平稳甚至往下走的趋势，与2G到3G的质的变化相比，现在的手机行业很难再有大的创新，这也是三星和苹果进入瓶颈的重要原因。
但是，对于中国国产品牌来说，恰好可以依靠成熟技术降低成本，最终靠性价比去占有市场。
“华为对三星发起专利诉讼应该是一个标志性事件，一定程度上来说，它也是营销手段。至少说明它在某些技术方面，具备了与国际科技巨头叫板的实力。”曾韬补充说。
目前，苹果已经与华为签订专利交叉许可协议。国家知识产权局备案信息显示，华为向苹果公司许可专利769件，苹果公司向华为许可专利98件，覆盖GSM、UMTS、LTE等无线通信技术。
宋正奇认为，在涉及到具体的案件时，专利储备量、品牌知名度、市场占有率都不重要，重要的是看被起诉方是否在某一领域侵害了对方专利。华为近日与苹果之间的专利授权，以及对三星发起的诉讼对国内企业具有警示意义，在知识产权保护领域也起到了很好的导向作用。
