Business Wire
Seeks Immediate ITC Investigation, Exclusion
Order and Cease-and-Desist Order
Remains Committed to Protecting Its Valuable
Intellectual Property
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) (“Motorola Solutions” or
the “Company”) today announced that it has filed a patent
infringement complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission
(the “ITC”) against Hytera Communications Corporation Limited (SHE:
002583) (“Hytera”) of Shenzhen, China. This legal action follows
the patent infringement and trade secret misappropriation
complaints filed by Motorola Solutions against Hytera on March 14,
2017, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois.
The ITC complaint asserts that Hytera is unlawfully importing
and selling two-way radio equipment and systems and related
software and components that infringe Motorola Solutions’ patents.
Motorola Solutions seeks an immediate investigation by the ITC, an
exclusion order to halt the importation of the infringing products
and a cease-and-desist order to stop the marketing and sale of the
infringing devices in the United States.
“On behalf of our customers, shareholders, employees, partners
and other stakeholders, Motorola Solutions will continue to
aggressively defend our proprietary technology and investments in
innovation,” said Mark Hacker, general counsel and chief
administrative officer of Motorola Solutions. “Motorola Solutions
is the world’s leading provider of two-way radio equipment and
systems, and we have invested billions of dollars over the last
several years to achieve this position. In 2016 alone, we invested
more than $500 million in research and development.”
Mr. Hacker continued, “Hytera asserts that it embraces
legitimate competition, but there is nothing legitimate about the
illegal copying and misappropriation in which it has engaged. We
are committed to vigorously defending our valuable intellectual
property as we continue to drive innovation for our customers
across the globe. We look forward to a full and fair hearing before
the ITC, as well as the Federal District Courts in Chicago, and we
are confident that these legal actions will be effective in halting
Hytera’s egregious and unlawful behavior.”
