Just what they want: it gives them yet another reason to call out the USA's double standards (be it true or not in this case).

Has any Western company ever managed to win a patent case against a Chinese company in China? The world has always been full of Chinese copies of products from older developed nations. It's basically how China built its modern industrial base. Still today when the owner/CEO of a Western company is interviewed, they may say that they might be able to sell a certain novel product for a time, before cheaper Chinese copies hit the market. In that light it's pretty funny when a Chinese company sues a company from anywhere else for patent infringement. The court should probably toss the case aside, unless it's exceptionally blatant.

Another one that thinks that their objective is to win the case...

I've heard about successful IP infringement cases, I don't know the details though or whether it related to contested patents or not. I do think they were either high profile or otherwise provided good PR for China as in "look how fair we are!", basically it seemed like success was dependent on if a case would be a good public example of a western firm winning some damages against an unimportant Chinese firm. I have not heard of any lawsuits against important or CCP backed firms being successful. Going after a smaller, independent company over IP theft or counterfeit items seems to have some success but there is little to stop offender from restarting the operation under another name. Pay your fine, slap on the wrist sort of scenario. That was the situation a 2-3 years ago anyway, I expect the situation has changed for the worse since then.

It's a 2-way street mixed with the current political climate. If Huawei is in the right, then, they should win. However, if it's thrown out for any other reason than IP related, then, you might see a new generation of Chinese products that have no respect for any Western patents at all. Now that's even scarier than keeping the status quo and selling them what they want.

I say its great that huawei suffers a bit since they themselves are built on stolen technologies and chinese state money. I hope this is dismissed as they deserve nothing.

I believe although don''t quote me that Lepin was at least one successful case, the knock off version of Lego. I guess they won because Ican;t see for the life of me any advantage for the CCP to be backing a knock off Lego producer.

do the same in china and watch them laugh at you. why the west allows the worst thief ever to claim is hilarious. we so stupid.

huawei created something original that had not already existed?

They won't be missed.

what is interesting, if we look at patents, huawei own bunch of patents (especially related to 5G) https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/business/huawei-tops-epo-patent-filers-list-2019-2020-03/ https://patents.justia.com/assignee/huawei-technologies-co-ltd if those are stolen tech, why they got the patents first ? if say others just not claim the patents, then we cant blame the one claim it either, right ? well imo there to many flaws related to patents things, what it do more or less just "limiting" copycats,

Chinese do crap copy if people demand crap copy (mostly from Europe and USA). Also doing copy is allowed in some way due to patend limit conflict (same as Eu Vs USA in some case too). But don't forget that they can do original thing too and for some at better grade than our local production. If you haven't ear about it, it is mainly because they can't sale them in our country (China is like evil for west Europe and USA, the same that demand crap copy and get them via Amazon). It's true that Chinese industry is a danger for our own production, but i clearly don't see how so unfair rules will make thing better, the market rules and relation need to get more sane. In Europe the Trump tax have totaly fucked importation, and the respose is more tax on our exportation, it's a lost/lost relation. They do the same or even more agressive with China... in the end the country who will loose the less will be considerated as a victorious... It's a huge step back for commercial relation.
