Judge Recommends Exclusion Order Preventing
Hytera from Importing Certain Infringing Products into the United
States and Cease-and-Desist Order Preventing Further Sale and
Marketing of Infringing Products Imported into the United
States
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) today announced that
Administrative Law Judge Mary Joan McNamara of the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) has issued a favorable Notice
of Initial Determination in its investigation of the patent
infringement complaint filed by Motorola Solutions on March 29,
2017 against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited (SHE:
002583). In the complaint, Motorola Solutions alleged that Hytera
is unlawfully importing and selling two-way radio equipment and
systems and related software and components that infringe four of
Motorola Solutions’ patents. These patents pertain to technologies
central to the operation of Hytera’s professional and commercial
radio products available today.
The Judge’s ruling follows a lengthy investigation that
culminated in a week-long hearing with testimony from both Motorola
Solutions and Hytera witnesses, hundreds of pages of briefing
materials and thousands of exhibits. As part of the Initial
Determination, Judge McNamara found that all four of Motorola
Solutions’ patents are valid, Hytera has infringed them, and
Motorola Solutions met the legal requirement of showing a
“technical domestic industry” on three of the four patents. Judge
McNamara also recommended an exclusion order preventing the
importation of infringing products into the United States for
Motorola Solutions’ U.S. Patents No. 7,369,869, 7,729,701 and
8,279,991, as well as a cease-and-desist order preventing the
further sale and marketing of certain infringing products imported
into the United States. A Final Determination by the ITC is
scheduled to be issued by Nov. 6, 2018.
“Judge McNamara’s ruling validates our allegations, upholds the
integrity of our intellectual property and rebukes Hytera for its
unscrupulous and unlawful behavior in willfully infringing Motorola
Solutions’ patents,” said Mark Hacker, general counsel and chief
administrative officer of Motorola Solutions. “While we consider
the Initial Determination an important step, it is only one
component of our global efforts to address Hytera’s systematic,
brazen and egregious theft and infringement of our intellectual
property.”
Mr. Hacker continued, “Motorola Solutions has a long and
distinguished track record of innovation with an extensive
portfolio of approximately 5,000 patents. We are committed to
vigorously defending our valuable intellectual property as we
continue to drive innovation for our customers. We greatly
appreciate the diligent work undertaken by Judge McNamara and the
ITC staff during this investigation, and we are confident that the
full ITC will uphold this decision and enter a Final Determination
consistent with today’s findings.”
