I suppose it has been a few days since we last heard about one mobile phone company suing another so it was about time for another one.
This time it’s Motorola versus Huawei. US based Motorola filed a complaint against Hauwei with the federal court in Chicago and claim that of of their former engineers leaked information to Huawei’s founder, Ren Zhengfei.
Huawei said the lawsuit was groundless.
"Huawei will vigorously defend itself against baseless allegations," the company said in an emailed statement.
Even if there is any truth to the claim, obviously I have no idea, I’m really not sure how far Motorola think they are likely to get with any kind of lawsuit as if the case goes through the courts in the US any decision that’s may be made cannot be enforced in China where Huawei are based.
Since at least 2006, Motorola had required its engineers to sign a confidentiality agreement, according to the filing.
