Business Wire
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) and Huawei Technologies
Co., Ltd. announced today that they have entered into an agreement
to settle all pending litigation between the two parties pending
the satisfaction of certain conditions. For its part, after further
review of the matter, Motorola Solutions has agreed to withdraw its
claims and dismiss, with prejudice, Huawei as a defendant in the
Motorola v. Lemko, et al. litigation pending in the Chicago federal
district court. For its part, Huawei has agreed to withdraw its
claims and dismiss, with prejudice, its lawsuit against Motorola
Solutions and Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) in the Chicago federal
district court and to resolve its claims against Motorola Solutions
and NSN by entering into an agreement that allows Motorola
Solutions to transfer its commercial agreements with Huawei to NSN
for a fee, and allows NSN to receive and use Huawei confidential
information to service the networks Motorola deployed worldwide
using Huawei’s products and technologies.
In 2000, Motorola and Huawei entered into an important,
successful commercial relationship during which Motorola resold
certain Huawei products under the Motorola name. Over the next ten
years, Motorola purchased $880 million in technology from Huawei
that covered core networks and radio access networks.
“We regret that these disputes have occurred between our two
companies. Motorola Solutions values the long-standing relationship
we have had with Huawei. After reviewing the facts, we decided to
resolve these matters and return to our traditional relationship of
confidence and trust. I am pleased that we can again focus on
having a cooperative and productive relationship,” said Greg Brown,
President & CEO of Motorola Solutions.
“Throughout our decade long relationship with Motorola
Solutions, Huawei has contributed cutting edge technology to
Motorola Solutions for use around the globe. Huawei provided
Motorola’s experts and counsel with source code and millions of
documents. Huawei acted properly and above board at all times and
developed its products independently and without the use of any
Motorola trade secrets. With the resolution of these cases, and the
misunderstandings put to rest, Huawei is pleased to move forward
with its efforts to provide innovative solutions to its customers,”
said Guo Ping, Vice Chairman of the Board and Executive Vice
President of Huawei.
