Qualcomm files 17 new gripes against Meizu

QUALCOMM Inc has filed 17 fresh complaints in China against Meizu Technology Co, stepping up its battle with the Chinese smartphone maker after the two were unable to reach a licensing accord in the US tech giant’s biggest market.

The patent infringement complaints by Qualcomm, submitted to intellectual property courts in Beijing and Shanghai yesterday, marked the second time in a week it has taken legal action against Meizu, one of China’s top-10 handset suppliers. It filed its first complaint in Beijing on June 24.

Qualcomm is seeking to uphold terms of its landmark 2015 anti-trust settlement with the National Development and Reform Commission. The company agreed to pay a fine of US$975 million, the largest in China’s corporate history.

The 17 latest patent infringement complaints cover a range of features and technologies used in smartphones, Qualcomm said, including those relating to 3G and 4G wireless communications standards.
