The filing, submitted to a U.S. district court, indicates this the licensing transgressions have occurred ‘in multiple jurisdictions’
Ericsson is suing Lenovo and its subsidiary Motorola Mobility for allegedly infringing 5G patents. The filing, submitted to a U.S. district court, indicates that the licensing transgressions have occurred “in multiple jurisdictions” and that despite the Swedish Vendor’s efforts to come to an agreement with Lenovo, the Chinese electronics company has remained unresponsive.
The new lawsuit comes less than a year after Ericsson settled its years-long legal dispute with Apple over iPhone-related and other patents. The settlement involved a new multi-year global patent license deal and joint commitment to “strengthen their technology and business collaboration, including in technology, interoperability and standards development.” At the time, Ericsson said the agreement includes global cross-license for patented cellular standard-essential technologies, as well as other patent rights.
