InterDigital Case Against ZTE, Huawei Gets Trade Agency Review
This article is for subscribers only.
InterDigital Inc.’s patent-infringement complaint seeking to block imports of phones made by Nokia Oyj, ZTE Corp. and Huawei Technologies Co. will be investigated by the U.S. International Trade Commission.
InterDigital, owner of about 1,300 U.S. patents related to mobile phones, claims the companies are infringing seven patents related to so-called third-generation wireless technology. The ITC, which announced the investigation on its website today, typically takes 15 to 18 months to complete a review and can ban imports of products that it finds violate U.S. patents.
