The patent dispute between MediaTek and Huawei, two of the biggest players in global communications technology, is intensifying. On July 26, MediaTek and its subsidiaries HFI Innovation and MTK Wireless launched a patent counterattack against Huawei in the UK courts, following a patent infringement lawsuit filed against MediaTek in China.

Event background

As the world's leading communications equipment manufacturer and patent holder, Huawei's development in the field of 5G technology is particularly rapid. According to data released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, Huawei's PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) applications in 2023 ranked first in the world, ranking first for seven consecutive years, and it is far ahead in the number of necessary patents in 5G.

According to domestic intellectual property industry experts speculated that Huawei's patent infringement lawsuit against MediaTek in China may involve 5G (or including 4G, 3G, etc.) cellular mobile communication technology. MediaTek said that the lawsuit has no significant impact on the company and is already in the judicial process, so it cannot comment.

However, MediaTek didn't stop there. On July 25, market analyst IAM reported that MediaTek filed a patent counterclaim against Huawei in the UK, alleging infringement of its patent rights. MediaTek said that as the case has entered the judicial process, it is not appropriate to comment further. Huawei has also not publicly responded to the issue.

Market impact

The patent war between MediaTek and Huawei is not only a technical contest, but also likely to have a profound impact on the global market layout of both parties. Patent litigation is often lengthy and the outcome is uncertain, which undoubtedly brings challenges to the business strategy and market development of both parties.

The patent dispute has attracted widespread attention both inside and outside the industry. On the one hand, it reflects the importance of patents in the field of communication technology and the intensity of competition. On the other hand, it also shows the determination of enterprises to safeguard their intellectual property rights on a global scale.
