Huawei Technologies Co. filed patent suits against Samsung Electronics Co. in the U.S. and China after the two weren’t able to reach a licensing deal over the use of technology fundamental to how mobile networks operate.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in San Francisco, Huawei claims Samsung infringes as many as 11 patents related to the industry standard for fourth-generation mobile devices. It’s seeking cash compensation. In the public portion of the complaint, Huawei doesn’t seek any order to block sales of Samsung products in the U.S.
