TAIPEI – Huawei Technologies is suing Taiwanese mobile chip developer MediaTek for allegedly infringing its intellectual property patents, the latest example of the Chinese company’s efforts to increase royalty and royalty collections.
Huawei, which holds patents for many key mobile technologies, has filed a lawsuit in a Chinese district court. MediaTek, the world’s leading developer of chips used in smartphones and other mobile devices, confirmed the case in a filing to the Taiwan Stock Exchange on Friday, saying it would not have any significant impact on the chipmaker, but declined to comment further on the matter.
