Chinese company, LG Electronics "Pay and get a patent"
LG Electronics received a "surrender" from a Chinese mobile phone manufacturer in an international patent dispute. It proved that LG Electronics's communication patent technology was proportionate. LG Electronics announced on Tuesday that it has signed a license agreement on LG Electronics for LTE Communications Patent Patent for LG Electronics. At the same time, the patent infringement lawsuit, which was in progress with Tinomobile's subsidiary Wiko, was withdrawn between the two companies. LG Electronics filed a lawsuit in the German District Court in July 2018, "Wiko has infringed Korean communication standard patents." In October of the following year, the Manheim District Court acknowledged Wiko's violation and raised the LG Electronics. LG Electronics won the appeal in March this year. On this day, the subjugation and the conclusion of a patent license agreement were to be accepted by Tino Mobile that they had used the LG Electronics patent without permission, and would pay the usage fee and use the patent in the future. In the future, Wiko will pay LG Electronics for LTE mobile patent usage fees sold in the global market. Wico is a nominal French company, but Tinomobile owns the overall equity and is effectively a Chinese company. LG Electronics has been evaluated as having thousands of standard patents in the mobile mobile communication field and having a global technology leadership. Standard patents are technical patents that must be used to embody specific functions in related products. According to the U.S. Patent Analysis Organization Tech Ipyem, LG Electronics recorded the world's number one share in the 4G (LTE / LTE-A) standard patent category for the fifth consecutive year. 5G (5th generation mobile communication) standard patent holding is also in the world's second largest level. When making a product, you must pay a legitimate fee to use the standard patent of other companies. However, the company has been using LG Electronics patents without permission and claimed that they did not use LG patents. LG Electronics and Tinomobile's patented agreements are expected to be pressure for other Chinese mobile manufacturers TCL. LG Electronics has filed three lawsuits in Germany, including patent infringement in Germany. In the first instance, LG Electronics won all, but TCL has filed a appeal.
