InterDigital (a US-based mobile technology research and
development company specializing in providing video and wireless technologies
for mobile devices, services, and networks across the globe) has quite recently
filed two Patent
Infringement cases against Xiaomi (a Chinese electronics company
headquartered in Beijing) in the Delhi High Court.
According to InterDigital, the Chinese phone maker has involved
itself in the unauthorized use of three H.265/HEVC (High-Efficiency Video
Coding) patents and five cellular 3G and 4G patents owned by InterDigital.
The company claimed that it has been in negotiation with Xiaomi
for quite a while now and ended up filing the case after they couldn't reach an
agreement.
InterDigital is now seeking compensatory and punitive damages
against Xiaomi along with an injunction to prevent further instances of patent
infringement in India unless Xiaomi agrees to a FRAND (Fair, reasonable, and
non-discriminatory) license as determined by the court.
The President and CEO at InterDigital, William J. Merritt, said in
a statement delivered that video and wireless standards play a crucial role in
eliminating the barriers to entry, which allows new companies like Xiaomi to
enter the market and emerge successfully without making any investment in
previous wireless research activities. He further said that advanced research
drives the key video and wireless standards, and fair licenses with companies
making use of such technologies. According to him, it enables companies like
InterDigital to research more, which, in turn, benefits the users and industry
at large.
Huawei, Apply, and Samsung are some of the other tech giants using
InterDigital's products.
The Indian patents owned by InterDigital on the cellular side,
which are in contention, include the solutions enhancing utilization of
cellular resources for applications (such as VoIP) that require continuous
allocations of uplink resources. The other patents enable mobile users to have
quick and efficient access to 4G (LTE) networks and minimize power consumption
by selectively switching the handset's LTE modem to sleep mode. The patents
corresponding to videos include an enhanced video decoder that reduces the
network resources needed to deliver videos. Additionally, it also reduces the
memory required to store videos on the handset, which leads to an improved
video streaming experience. The other solution improves the picture quality for
a decoded video by offering a series of filters. For view source: https://www.kashishipr.com/blog/interdigital-files-two-patent-infringement-cases-against-xiaomi-in-delhi-hc/
