Qualcomm Inc. has expanded its patent infringement actions against Chinese smartphone maker Meizu Technology Co. by filing actions in the United States, Germany and France. The San Diego, California-based company was left with “no choice” but to initiate these legal proceedings, according to Qualcomm’s general counsel.
Qualcomm, which boasts a large patent portfolio with patents for 3G and 4G wireless technologies, filed a complaint against Meizu on Oct. 14 with the U.S. International Trade Commission, according to a statement. The company also filed a patent infringement action in Germany with the Mannheim Regional Court and an infringement-seizure action in France to obtain evidence for a potential infringement action in the future.
