The best equipment supplier of Chinese telecom industry, ZTE declared this Tuesday that it was going to sue a part of the product rage of the Swedish company, Ericsson in violation for its patent infringement in china. This might be just give raise to legal arguments between the two giant rival companies.
ZTE actually filed the legal documents on Monday, against Ericsson Communications Co. Ltd in China and blamed the company of breaching its Chinese patents on a handful of products which include "core networks, GSM infrastructure and 4G infrastructures". According to a press release by ZTE, it said that "ZTE has asked that Ericsson discontinue any act of infringement and bear legal liability in accordance with the provision of relevant laws.” Moreover, it was also later stated that "ZTE is fully committed to developing its own patent technology and respects reasonable patent requests from other vendors."Interestingly Ericsson has also already filed three lawsuits back in Europe against ZTE for the same case, infringing the patents on mobile phones and infrastructure. This was reported by Ericsson spokesperson earlier this month, but no new information arrived after that announcement.
ZTE along with its rival company, Huawei, who are both from China, have lately been both expanding and trying their luck in the international markets. Since both the companies going international were Chinese, they definitely eat up the market share for any local company, or even other dominant Western companies which are already on an international scale.
Ericsson is the leading best-seller of the market in mobile network equipment, if considered on an international scale, it even shares a greater market share than the Finnish-German giant Nokia Siemens. Following these two is another French-based telecom company Alcatel-Lucent after which China takes the next place with Huawei
