Huawei has filed suit against Motorola, alleging that Motorola is in the process of selling its intellectual property illegally, as Motorola is in the process of selling its radio division to Nokia Siemens Networks.
Huawel is alleging that it has had a standing business relationship with Motorola since the year 2000, whereby Motorola rebranded select Huawei technology and products under its name and gave Motorola further access to Huawei’s technology and designs.
When Motorola announced its intention to sell its radio access hardware division to Nokia Siemens Networks, Huawei had requested Motorola not to sell their technology to the new company, which the suit aims to prevent by seeking the stoppage of the transaction. Huawei is claiming irreperable damage if the sale goes through without the concessions it requests.
