Japanese Patent Fund Must Serve Huawei In China In 3G Suit
Law360, London (May 14, 2021, 2:45 PM BST) A judge has overruled an order permitting a Japanese patent fund to serve two China-based Huawei subsidiaries out of jurisdiction, saying on Friday that although refusing alternative service might be gamesmanship it is a game the telecommunications giant is entitled to play.
The decision by Nicholas Caddick QC, sitting as a deputy High Court judge, sets aside permission granted to Godo Kaisha IP Bridge 1 by a different judge in February, which allowed the sovereign patent fund to send notice of the infringement lawsuit to Huawei s subsidiary in England or to its London solicitors.
