*Samsung Electronics has reportedly been ordered to pay compensation of US$7.3 million to Holley Communications (a Chinese company) for violating a patent for a dual-mode cell phone.
*The patent has been filed by Holleycomm on January 15th. 2002—Method and Devices of CDMA/GSM Dual-mode Mobile Communication (patent No. ZL0210174.4)—has basically covered the design ideas and realization methods of main hardware of GSM/CDMA Dual-mode communication products.
*Samsung has sold more than 700,000 cellphones that contain Holley’s patented technologies. The patents are still on sale. The compensation is only part of the sales
*The 20-month patent dispute started when Holley filed the lawsuit in April 2007, calling for a stop of the violation and seeking compensation.
*A month later, Sumsung requested that China’s State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) declare that the patent was invalid.
*The court opened the session in May this year after the SIPO made a response to declare it valid.
