Huawei Wants EU to Interfere in Dispute with InterDigitalSHENZHEN, May 25, 2012 (SinoCast Daily Business Beat via COMTEX) -- Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. appeals to the anti-monopoly institution of the European Union (EU) to interfere in its patent dispute with InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC), which is said to charge high fees in 3G mobile phone patents. Failing to reach an agreement with InterDigital, which owns a great deal of patents in wireless technology, Huawei went to the European Commission and lodged a patent action on May 23. InterDigital filed a suit to the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) in 2011, accusing Huawei, Nokia Corporation (NYSE: NOK) and ZTE Corporation (SZSE: 000063, SEHK: 0763) of infringing its technological patents. InterDigital has over 19,500 patents and patent applications. The company had received USD 3 billion licensing fees from its 2G and 3G patents by December 31, 2011.
