Huawei has now filed a lawsuit against MediaTek, saying the mobile chip maker infringes on several Huawei patents. Huawei filed this suit in China.
As many are aware, chips produced by MediaTek are widely used by various companies, including Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo and so on. Previously, MediaTek also provided their processing chips to Huawei, before the trade barriers by the United States against the Chinese manufacturer.
It is said that Huawei is looking to further diversify its income, and a lawsuit was filed in an attempt to obtain royalties for their investment in research and development. This also indirectly shows Huawei's abilities and expertise in the technology arena.
MediaTek confirmed about this lawsuit, and stated that it did not have a major impact on the chip manufacturer.
