Xiaomi Finds Patent Problem in Global Chase of Samsung, Apple

摘要

Xiaomi Corp. became the biggest smartphone seller in China without an extensive - or expensive - collection of patents. That low-cost approach is now backfiring as accusations of technology infringement stall its global push. Ericsson AB sued Xiaomi in India, saying the smart-phone maker had not licensed inventions by Ericsson that enable wireless devices to connect to networks. Judges banned some Xiaomi devices in the company's biggest overseas market, pending another hearing in January (see "Indian Court Stops Xiaomi from Selling Mobiles on Ericsson Infringement Charges" [29 WIPR 12, 1/1/15]).
