The Chinese tech company Huawei will continue to sell its smartphones in Germany after reaching an agreement with the patent poll MPEG LA.
The dispute at hand concerns video coding technology used in computers and phones, for which there are patents included in the MPEG LA portfolio.
In 2018, the Court in Düsseldorf ruled in favor of MPEG LA ordering all Huawei’s smartphones which are sold in Germany to be recalled and destroyed.
To prevent such results, Huawei signed a license agreement with MPEG LA that will allow the company to use the above-mentioned patents as well as to continue their selling in Germany.
