With HTC falling almost endlessly just to keep intact the aura of its brand’s pioneers, that’s the truth The Taiwanese company that makes money is almost always new no matter how he won it.
Indeed, this time and as our classmates told us, GizmoChinaThe ancillary income is paid by order of the court HTC wins patent infringement lawsuit against two Chinese manufacturers, Meizu and Gionee, which HTC will pay about 6.5 million yuan In return.
The infringed patent relates to one of HTC’s best works in recent years, namely Meizu and Gionee’s use of their intellectual property related to móvil inteligente design metallic housing at all and specific antenna structure which solves the problem of signal transmission under all-metal cases.
Almost 1 million euros in compensation, which is no more than a bailout
Surely all of you have seen and even used this famous HTC teléfonos inteligentes with its design “full metal”so it is understandable that Taiwan wants to enforce a patent Gionee was surpassed with its Gionee M6 in a subtle way, and that is, at first glance you cánido see the similarity of the design with HTC’s solution.
Also, the Note Meizu M5, which was supposed to compete in the mid-range, looked dangerously afín to the HTC, and the reason for this is not given to us by sentiment, but by the Taiwanese the Beijing Intellectual Property Courtconcluded that HTC’s intellectual property was used in both cases and convicted Gionee and Meizu Stop selling these models and compensate for the economic losses and court costs for HTC.
