What happened when Samsung and Huawei reached a settlement? Why did Samsung and Huawei reach a settl

on February 27, Samsung and Huawei asked a court to suspend the proceedings after reaching a settlement agreement on a two-year-old legal battle over patent infringement on Tuesday, local time. What happened when Samsung and Huawei reached a settlement? Why did Samsung and Huawei reach a settlement?

In 2016, the two companies sued each other for violating the agreement and infringing their own patents. According to the plan, the case will be heard in September this year, when the jury will hear Samsung's claim that Huawei has violated its frand (fair, reasonable and non discriminatory) licensing obligations.

In 2016, Huawei sued Samsung for illegal use of its technology, mainly involving 4G communication technology and software related to smart phone operation functions. Huawei claims that nearly 20 Samsung terminal products, including Galaxy S7 / s7edge, are suspected of infringing the patent of "a processing method and user equipment that can be applied to terminal component display" filed in 2010.

In 2017, Quanzhou intermediate people's court ruled that Samsung should compensate Huawei 80 million yuan for its patent infringement.

Today's joint motion to the court confirms that Huawei and Samsung reached an out of court settlement this week, at least in the United States.

The joint document said: 'the two sides have reached a settlement agreement. According to the agreement, they will take measures to complete the settlement lawsuit in the next few weeks, and Huawei will submit withdrawal documents within 30 days. '

The content of the settlement agreement between Huawei and Samsung is unclear.
