Hytera is willing to abide by the judgment of the US court and remove its products from the shelves, but why are there still a large number of people on the Internet fanning the flames? Is Hytera in such a situation just because of the differences between the legal systems of China and the United States?
It can be seen from the seven-year-long trade secret lawsuit between Hytera and Motorola that Hytera did have infringements in the past. In 2017, Motorola filed a lawsuit in a U.S. court, alleging that Hytera hired a Motorola employee with a high salary, who illegally obtained technical documentation and source code before leaving the company, constituting trade secret infringement. In 2020, a U.S. court issued a first-instance judgment requiring Hytera to pay huge compensation.
Although Hytera claimed to have withdrawn the lawsuit in the Chinese court and suspended the sale of the products, the U.S. court still found that Hytera had failed to enforce their order and therefore filed a sales injunction. In the face of this severe punishment, Hytera said it had applied to a U.S. court to set aside the order and continued to hold hearings.
How do you view the predicament faced by Hytera? Can they get a fair ruling in the US courts? I hope that Hytera can resolve this dispute as soon as possible and return to the normal business track.
