Hytera appeals ITC ruling, speaks of “nuisance litigations”
Radio
manufacturer Hytera has filed a petition at the US International Trade
Commission (ITC) requesting review of a ruling issued by the body on 3
July which upheld rival Motorola Solution’s complaint of patent
infringement against the company.
In the complaint, Motorola alleged that Hytera is unlawfully importing and selling two-way radio equipment and systems, and related software and components that infringe four of Motorola Solutions’ patents.
As part of the initial determination, Judge Mary Joan McNamara found that all four of the remaining Motorola Solutions’ patents under consideration are valid, Hytera has infringed them, and Motorola Solutions met the legal requirement of showing a “technical domestic industry” on three of the four patents.
The news of Hytera’s appeal comes less than a day after the Regional Court of Mannheim ruled in favour of Motorola Solutions, in relation to a patent infringement complaint made against Hytera Mobilfunk in Germany.
