Regional Court of Mannheim Grants Motorola
Solutions’ in First Instance Injunction Request, Which Is
Preliminarily Enforceable, Preventing Hytera GmbH from Offering and
Delivering Infringing Products
Orders Recall and Destruction of Infringing
Products; Hytera GmbH Held Liable for Damages
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) today announced that it has
won its patent infringement lawsuit filed against Hytera Mobilfunk
GmbH of Bad Münder, Germany (“Hytera GmbH”), the German subsidiary
of Hytera Communications Corporation Limited (SHE: 002583) of
Shenzhen, China, in the Regional Court of Mannheim in Germany (the
“Mannheim Court”) on July 24, 2017. The Mannheim Court determined
in first instance that Hytera GmbH is infringing Motorola
Solutions’ patent EP 1 139 562 B1 related to technology that
improves the audio performance in two-way handheld radios and car
radios. The patented technology provides for an improved listening
experience and enhanced audio safety by reducing the radio
speaker's transmission of undesirable noise.
As a result of the Mannheim Court’s determination that Hytera
GmbH is infringing Motorola Solutions’ patent, it has granted an
injunction against Hytera GmbH preventing it from using, selling,
importing into or distributing infringing products in Germany. The
Mannheim Court also ordered the recall and destruction of
infringing products previously sold by Hytera GmbH in Germany and
held Hytera GmbH liable for damages in a declaratory decision. This
judgment is the first ruling against Hytera GmbH related to the EP
1 139 562 B1 patent, which up until this point Motorola Solutions
has not asserted against Hytera anywhere else in the world. While
the judgment may be appealed by Hytera GmbH, it is immediately
enforceable upon Motorola Solutions’ posting of a required
security, which will be completed very shortly.
“Today’s victory marks another milestone in our global efforts
to hold Hytera accountable for its infringement of our patents and
to preserve the integrity of our intellectual property,” said Mark
Hacker, general counsel and chief administrative officer of
Motorola Solutions. “Importantly, not only has the Mannheim Court
ordered Hytera GmbH to cease the sale of infringing products in
Germany, but also to recall and destroy those it has already sold
in Germany.”
Mr. Hacker continued, “Motorola Solutions is the world’s leading
provider of two-way radio equipment and systems, and innovation has
been integral to our long history of success in a continuously
evolving industry. We are proud of our growing and industry-leading
portfolio of approximately 5,000 patents. The infringement
demonstrated by Hytera creates an unfair playing field and
threatens the industry’s ability to innovate. We will continue to
take all necessary actions to stop Hytera’s illegal conduct and
protect our intellectual property.”
