Xiaomi's application to invalidate Huawei's four patents has been concluded, and the patents remain valid

【Phoneauto News】Previously, Xiaomi applied to the National Intellectual Property Administration to invalidate four Huawei patents. Now there are results in this case.

The National Intellectual Property Administration shows that the case numbers are: 4W115656, 4W115657, 4W115658, 4W115659. On September 1, 2023, the National Intellectual Property Administration declared that the patents are “valid,” and Xiaomi will still need to pay patent fees to Huawei in the future. However, Xiaomi can file a lawsuit with the Beijing Intellectual Property Court within three months.

In fact, Xiaomi has previously initiated multiple requests to invalidate Huawei’s patents. In May of this year, the National Intellectual Property Administration announced that Xiaomi recently initiated an invalidation request for a Huawei patent titled “A method and terminal for obtaining panoramic images.” In July, Xiaomi also initiated an invalidation request for Huawei’s patent “ZL201810188201.7,” which is titled “A lock screen method and mobile terminal.”
