Ericsson sues Wiko for patent infringement
Ericsson has launched legal
proceedings against smartphone maker Wiko for patent infringement, it said
Thursday.
The supplier of
wireless-communications gear said it is suing Wiko in the German regional
courts of Dusseldorf and Mannheim, alleging infringement of patents essential
for 2G, 3G and 4G cellular technology, as well as implementation patents.
"Wiko has been infringing Ericsson's intellectual property
rights for six years without any license or compensation," the company
said in a statement.
"Ericsson has tried to establish a fair, reasonable, and
non-discriminatory (FRAND) license agreement with Wiko since May 2013, but has
not succeeded."
Wiko did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Ericsson has an intellectual property portfolio that includes
more than 42,000 granted patents worldwide.
