Huawei lost the lawsuit, the United States has been making small moves behind its back, and Sweden has imposed severe sanctions and suppression on Huawei's 5G project.
For example, it is necessary to forcibly dismantle Huawei's 5G base stations that have been erected, restrict the use of Huawei's 5G equipment, and impose a monopoly on Huawei's 5G technology.
In the face of such a blatant and unreasonable practice, Huawei decided to take action and file a lawsuit with the relevant Swedish authorities, hoping to defend its legitimate rights and interests.
On June 22, 2021, the Swedish Administrative Tribunal issued a judgment declaring Huawei's lawsuit invalid and defeated. It seems that the dust has settled.
Sweden and the company are triumphant, not only winning a large number of orders from the Chinese market, but also continuing to impose sanctions on Huawei, banning the use of Huawei's 5G equipment and technology.
But what Sweden didn't expect at all was that Huawei would definitely not give up. Not only was it not intimidated, but it continued to appeal more aggressively, this time referring the case directly to the Swedish Court of Appeal.
On October 2, 2021, Huawei's chief lawyer publicly pointed out that the Swedish Administrative Tribunal's judgment against Huawei contained many serious errors.
One of the most obvious problems is that the court did not understand and analyze the facts of the case in detail, so it directly accepted and believed the subjective speculation of the Swedish ** department, and completely failed to uphold the principle of fairness and impartiality.
What's more serious is that it has now been confirmed that in the process of hearing and adjudicating this case, the Swedish *** Bureau forcibly intervened, which affected the independence and impartiality of the case.
The lawyer made it clear at the press conference that this meant that the case was not an independent judgment of the Swedish Post and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority based on facts, but was unduly influenced from the outside.
According to the lawyer, in view of the above facts, Huawei asked the Swedish Court of Appeal to re-examine the case and agreed to Huawei's appeal request.
He believes that from the perspective of legal procedures, the previous decision of the Swedish post and telecommunications regulatory authority seriously violated the relevant provisions of Swedish domestic law and EU law, and is a serious improper practice.
Because without fully listening to all of Huawei's arguments, it arbitrarily made decisions that were unfavorable to Huawei.
In addition, Huawei has made it clear that if the Swedish Court of Appeal does not recognize the reasonableness of Huawei's interpretation of EU law, then the entire case should be referred to the European Court of Justice for a preliminary decision on admissibility.
In short, if the Swedish courts continue to dismiss Huawei's appeal on suspicion of impropriety, the case should be transferred to the European Court of Justice for a new trial. The law is unforgiving, and facts speak louder than words.
Realistically speaking, what the Swedish court has done this time has seriously violated the basic principles of judicial fairness. As we all know, Huawei has the largest number of 5G core technology patents in the world.
Therefore, Huawei has the right to withdraw the relevant patent rights previously granted to Swedish operators and **. If Huawei does withdraw the patent license, then Sweden's entire 5G infrastructure construction will be unsustainable, and its 5G development prospects are worrisome.
Even the next generation of 6G R&D based on 5G technology will be severely affected. However, all these consequences are completely caused by Sweden** itself, and it is really self-inflicted.
At the same time, Sweden's Ericsson not only received a large number of orders for base station equipment in the Chinese market, but also continued to vigorously sanction and suppress Huawei, restricting Huawei's participation in the construction of 5G networks in Sweden and other countries.
It can be seen that the actions of Sweden and enterprises are completely contrary to the market rules of fair competition. Huawei, on the other hand, is actively seeking fair and reasonable legal support and institutional guarantees.
At the moment, it is unclear how long it will take for the Swedish Court of Appeal to rule on the case. But what is certain is that if the current awkward situation cannot be resolved, Sweden's entire 5G and even 6G technology development will face serious uncertainty.
After all, Huawei is now the "lighthouse" of the world's 5G technology development"Nail household"This approach is destined to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
To sum up, the current dispute between Huawei and Sweden in the field of 5G is still fierce. Huawei's lead lawyer, Henrik Bengtsson, has been a stark critic of the Swedish courts' many illegal practices.
At the same time, Huawei has taken further action to appeal the case to the European Court of Justice for re-adjudication. It is hoped that the relevant parties will uphold the principle of objectivity and fairness, properly resolve disputes in accordance with the law, and maintain a fair and orderly market.
At the same time, it is also hoped that Sweden can recognize the general trend of 5G technology development, treat Huawei's status and contribution rationally, and not hurt its long-term interests because of temporary political calculations.
