The lawsuit was filed in a Texas court in the United States in March 2019. Businessman Rui Pedro Oliveira accused Huawei of stealing a product, complaining that it had not respected the patent and intellectual property designed by him. – and the Chinese company submitted a request for a declaration that this was not true.
The story was told in the newspaper Público, a publication that also reported on Monday that the two parties reached a “friendly” agreement on June 19. Pedro Oliveira withdrew the complaints of “patent infringement, trade secret, breach of contract” and acknowledged that “Huawei respects the intellectual property of third parties.”
At stake is a smartphone attachable lens that already comes equipped with a camera Huawei launched in 2017, the EnVizion 360; the Portuguese claims that he had presented the same idea to the company three years earlier. According to Pedro Oliveira, the Chinese brand had appropriated the design that the inventor had already patented in the United States.
Public reports that it is unknown whether the completion of this process resulted in a payment to the businessman and recalls that in March 2019 Huawei refused to resolve this issue by agreement.
Huawei has been on the media agenda a lot because of the US embargo. US President Donald Trump blacklisted the mobile phone company in May 2019, accusing it of working in collusion with the Chinese communist regime and misusing the patents of other companies. This has caused the negotiations between the Chinese and American brand to fall apart. Huawei has always denied the allegations.
This summer, the United States made an exception to the embargo imposed on Chinese technology: American companies will be able to talk to Huawei to set standards for 5G networks, according to Reuters.
