From domestic to foreign, from the enterprise communication market to the personal terminal field, Huawei and ZTE, the two giants in China, have been arguing constantly.
A few days ago, on the case of Huawei suing the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office to announce the invalidation of ZTE patents, the Beijing Higher People's Court made a final ruling, allowing Huawei to withdraw the lawsuit and canceling the Beijing Intellectual Property Court (2016) Beijing 73th No. 1730 Administrative Judgment .
This indicates that Huawei and ZTE's intellectual property litigation disputes, which have lasted for several years, have entered the “de-competition†reconciliation stage in China. The future competition between the two sides will mainly focus on overseas markets.
Then, why did Huawei and ZTE, which have always been "incompatible with water and fire" and "seeing each other with guns and guns" suddenly choose to reconcile?
Huawei and ZTE have long been "overloring" China's invention patents related listWhether it is Huawei or ZTE, the reason why it is “invulnerable†in the market competition and “not to give each other†in patent litigation is that the two sides have deep patent technology accumulation, and they are all over the years. .
On January 19, 2017, the State Intellectual Property Office released the main work statistics and related information for 2016 in Beijing, and announced the “Top Ten Chinese Invention Patent Application Acceptances in 2016†and “2016 China Invention Patent Grantsâ€. The top ten "two lists.
In terms of invention patent application acceptance, Huawei, LeTV, ZTE, OPPO, Xiaomi, Nubia and other manufacturers related to cutting-edge technologies such as smart phones are ranked among the top ten in China's 2016 invention patent application acceptance. Among them, Huawei ranked first with 4,906 invention patent applications, while ZTE ranked fourth with 3,941 invention patent applications.
In terms of invention patent authorization, Huawei, ZTE, Tencent, Lenovo, Gree and so on ranked the top ten in China's invention patents in 2016. Among them, Huawei ranked second with 2,690 invention patents, and ZTE ranked fourth with 1,587 invention patents.
In fact, whether it is "the top ten in the number of Chinese invention patent applications," or "the top ten in China's invention patent grants", both ZTE and Huawei are domestic patent giants who are "hegemony".
Since 2013, the State Intellectual Property Office has published the list of “Top Ten in China's Invention Patent Application Acceptancesâ€. From 2012 to 2016, Huawei and ZTE have been on the list for four consecutive years.
In the period from 2012 to 2016, in the list of “Top Ten Chinese Invention Patent Authorizations†published by the State Intellectual Property Office, Huawei and ZTE are also “listed on the list†every year.
It can be seen from the analysis of the previous years of the two lists that Huawei and ZTE can be described as “competitive†and do not give each other.
In fact, not only in the patent application or patent authorization, Huawei and ZTE presented a state of “you chasing after me.†In the litigation dispute, the two sides were once “tit-for-tat†and “not in the same placeâ€.
Huawei and ZTE have “full of gunpowder†in patent litigation, and there are 21 pending cases in Beijing alone.According to the statistics from the website of the State Intellectual Property Office, as of January 20, 2017, Huawei had 52,388 inventions and ZTE was 42,041. In terms of invention authorization, Huawei was 30056, and ZTE was 19,765. In terms of new types, Huawei is 1,440, and ZTE is 2,442. In terms of design, Huawei is 2009 and ZTE is 1,353.
Obviously, in terms of patent accumulation, the two can be described as "hard to distinguish". In the international market, ZTE's mobile phone performance in the US market is eye-catching, and Huawei mobile phones have performed well in the European market.
In terms of intellectual property litigation or disputes, according to statistics, Huawei and Zhongxing have multiple IP litigations in the Supreme Court, Beijing High Court, Beijing Intellectual Property Court, and intermediate courts in Beijing, Shenzhen, Xi'an, Changsha, Hangzhou, and Zhengzhou. Among them, 21 cases were tried by the Beijing court; in addition, there were several patents in the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office to invalidate administrative cases.
Simply put, as a Chinese company with significant influence in the domestic and international communications industry, Huawei and ZTE's "competition" status in patent litigation is called "the fire is difficult."
In fact, apart from dozens of patent dispute cases in China, the two sides have in the past many countries or regions such as Germany, France, the United States, etc., have "big shots" in patent litigation, and the focus of litigation involves both "standard essential patents" disputes. It also involves other patent disputes; it involves both basic communication technologies and data interaction technologies; there are disputes related to communication equipment, as well as smartphone-related disputes.
Take the case of “Huawei v. State Intellectual Property Office Patent Reexamination Board Patent Invalidation Announcement Administrative Dispute†accepted by the Beijing Intellectual Property Court on April 11, 2016. For example, ZTE holds the name “a wireless network card and computer dataâ€. On October 10, 2014, Huawei Company filed an invalidation request with the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office, requesting that the patent claims be invalid.
On December 30, 2015, the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office made the patent right effective. Subsequently, Huawei refused to accept the decision and appealed the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office to the Beijing Intellectual Property Court.
On September 19, 2016, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court made a first-instance judgment, and the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office made a decision to maintain the patent right, and the judgment was revoked in violation of the legal procedures.
Subsequently, ZTE refused to accept the first-instance judgment and appealed to the Beijing Higher People's Court.
Beijing High Court mediation, Huawei and ZTE comprehensive reconciliation ended many years of intellectual property disputesFrom October 2015 to May 2016, the Beijing High Court People's Court accepted the case of the invention patent invalidation dispute between ZTE, Huawei and the State Intellectual Property Office's Patent Reexamination Board.
In response to the actual situation of domestic enterprises' contradictions and affecting international competition, the Beijing High Court People's Court has arranged a comprehensive investigation to sort out the litigation cases involving both parties, understand the overall situation of the litigation, and communicated with the parties on several occasions to understand the contradictions between the two parties. The crux of the problem lies in proposing a constructive plan from the standpoint of balancing the interests of both parties.
On November 3, 2016, Huawei and ZTE reached an agreement to terminate the lawsuit in the Beijing High Court, and reached a settlement on all domestic litigation and patent invalid administrative disputes.
The two parties agreed that Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and its affiliates, ZTE Corporation and its affiliates no longer file intellectual property infringement litigation or invalidation procedures in China, and all existing civil and administrative litigations in the Chinese region can be withdrawn. Processing, for existing judgments in China, no longer apply for execution or abandon the application for execution.
On January 17, 2017, in the case of Huawei suing the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office to announce the invalidation of ZTE patents, the Beijing Higher People's Court made a final ruling, allowing Huawei to withdraw the lawsuit and canceling the first-instance judgment of the Beijing Intellectual Property Court.
At this point, Huawei and ZTE have entered the "interruption" reconciliation stage in dozens of IP disputes in China. At the same time, the comprehensive reconciliation of Huawei and ZTE domestic patent disputes has also removed the worries of related companies going global and exploring the international market.
