After Xiaomi sued Huawei, three U.S. universities took Huawei to court
In July, three U.S. universities (State University of New York), the University of Connecticut (UConn), and the University of Worcester Technology (University of The) filed a lawsuit against Xiaomi and will file a lawsuit against Geek, the manufacturer of the Xiaomi wristband watch.
Three universities said Xiaomi was suspected of infringing seven U.S. inventions, including products that monitor smartwatch bracelets.
The three universities said that Xiaomi's complete set of human function testing algorithms and systems was an invention of Professor Kishen, and Professor Kishen was a member of the three companies, so the three companies sued Xiaomi together.
The case is still unfinished, who would have thought that some time ago, the three universities all pointed the finger at Huawei.
Three universities also sued Huawei for the same reason some time ago, arguing that Huawei's watches, bracelets and other products, which detect human body functions and systems, are also suspected of infringement.
Therefore, the three universities want to use litigation to stop companies such as Xiaomi and Huawei from using the public to conduct scientific research.
According to the analysis of industry insiders, similar lawsuits will continue for a long time, and no one knows what will happen in the end, but it is very likely that Huawei and Xiaomi's goods are in danger of being banned from import.
Why did the three universities sue Xiaomi before suing Huawei?
On the one hand, they also want to make a profit, Xiaomi and Huawei, both of which are large companies in the world's top 500, if they win the lawsuit, it will be a big fine, and the compensation from the United States will not be less.
The second is the suppression of Huawei and Xiaomi, according to the financial report for the second quarter of this year, Xiaomi has ranked second in the world in the world, only slightly inferior to Apple, and Huawei is the third largest manufacturer in the world, and the gap with Apple is not big.
Xiaomi's sales are 39%, while Huawei's sales are 45%, so it is possible to pull Apple off the altar, and when the time comes, Xiaomi and Huawei's products will be affected, and American brands will also be affected.
But there are also some people who believe that this phone will not enter the United States at worst, and Huawei has not entered the United States at all, so it can be completely ignored, and Xiaomi's sales in the United States are very low, so they abandon the United States and there is no problem.
But if the United States loses, these schools can also file lawsuits all over the world, including Europe, including India, including Southeast Asia, including Africa, and then Huawei and Xiaomi will be hit hard.
It is clear that they are not just there to deal with Xiaomi and Huawei, but to prevent China's progress in high technology. This time, it is very likely that Xiaomi and Huawei will join forces to resist each other's bad behavior.
