Lenovo Sues ZTE Overseas, ZTE Responds: Hard to Understand but Respectful
On October 21, Lenovo filed a patent lawsuit against ZTE in the High Court of England and Wales with the case number HP-2024-000038. According to media reports, the plaintiffs in this lawsuit include Lenovo Group Co., Ltd., Lenovo Technology (UK) Co., Ltd., Motorola Mobility UK Co., Ltd., and Lenovo Innovation Co., Ltd.(Hong Kong). The defendants include ZTE Corporation, ZTE Corporation (UK) Limited, Nubia Technology Co., Ltd., Gamegeek Co., Ltd., Livewire Telecom Co., Ltd., and EFones.Com Co., Ltd.
ZTE responded positively on the morning of October 30 to Lenovo's patent lawsuit against itself. They stated that they have always respected any company's legal measures within the legal framework, but they very regretted Lenovo's behavior. After all, the two sides have been negotiating on patent licensing issues for many years, during which time ZTE has always had goodwill and hoped that the two sides can resolve the dispute in an efficient and reasonable way. As for Lenovo's travel to the UK to prosecute itself this time, ZTE's attitude can be summarized as "not understanding but respecting".
