Qualcomm files patent complaint in China against Meizu
Friday 24 June 2016 | 09:45 CET | News
Qualcomm said it has filed a complaint against Meizu in the Beijing Intellectual Property Court, requesting that the terms of a patent license offered by Qualcomm to Meizu comply with China's Anti-Monopoly Law, and Qualcomm's fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory licensing obligations.

The complaint also seeks a ruling that the offered patent license terms should form the basis for a patent license with Meizu for Qualcomm's fundamental technologies patented in China for use in mobile devices, including those relating to 3G (WCDMA and CDMA2000) and 4G (LTE) wireless communications standards.

The complaint follows a rectification plan submitted in 2015 by Qualcomm to China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), which accepted the plan. Qualcomm says Meizu has not been willing to enter into a license deal based on the rectification plan terms while unfairly expanding its business through the use of Qualcomm's innovations without compensation to Qualcomm. Over 100 other companies have already accepted the rectification plan terms, including the largest Chinese mobile device suppliers.
