By David Shepardson
(Reuters) -Chinese telecommunications company Huawei Technologies Co Ltd and
U.S. group Verizon Communications agreed to settle a pair of lawsuits
alleging patent infringement, the companies both said on Monday.
The confidential settlement came days into a trial that opened in one of the
two lawsuits last week. Huawei and Verizon filed joint motions to dismiss
both cases and Verizon's counterclaims late on Sunday in two U.S. courts in
Texas.
In February 2020, Huawei sued Verizon alleging the company used a dozen
Huawei patents without authorization in areas such as computer networking,
download security, and video communications, seeking an unspecified amount
of compensation and royalty payments.
Verizon said it was "happy with the settlement reached with Huawei involving
patent lawsuits. While terms of the settlement are not being disclosed, our
team did an outstanding job bringing this protracted matter to a close."
Huawei said in a statement it was "pleased that Verizon and Huawei reached
an agreement that ends the companies’ patent litigation. The terms of the
agreement are confidential."
The company noted it "holds more than 100,000 active patents worldwide,
including about 10,000 U.S. patents."
Verizon had last year had filed counterclaims against Huawei, claiming the
Chinese company violated Verizon patents.
Huawei said in 2020 it was "simply asking that Verizon respect Huawei's
investment in research and development by either paying for the use of our
patents, or refraining from using them."
Huawei has been a flashpoint in the U.S.-China relationship for several
years. The United States placed the company on an economic blacklist in 2019
over what it said were national security concerns.
In June 2019, Reuters reported that Huawei told Verizon it should pay
licensing fees for use of more than 230 Huawei patents and was seeking more
than $1 billion.
