Xiaomi Corp. pledged to continue its India expansion after a patent lawsuit by Ericsson AB forced the Chinese smartphone maker to halt sales in the world’s second-most-populous country.
Xiaomi suspended all sales in India “until further notice” to comply with a Dec. 8 ruling from the Delhi High Court and is considering its legal options, Hugo Barra, a vice president for global operations, said in a note posted last night on Xiaomi’s Indian website. The order blocks Xiaomi and its e-commerce partner Flipkart.com from making, selling, or importing devices that Ericsson says infringe its wireless technology patents, according to court papers.
