Motorola and Huawei Settle Legal Disputes

Motorola Solutions Inc. (“Motorola”) and Huawei Technologies Co. (“Huawei”) have agreed to settle all pending litigation between them.  Huawei, a Chinese-based technology company, has agreed to withdraw its lawsuit against Motorola and Nokia Siemens Networks (“Nokia Siemens”).  The lawsuit was originally filed in January, and sought to block Motorola’s sale of its wireless equipment business to Nokia Siemens on the grounds that Motorola could reveal certain Huawei trade secrets to Nokia Siemens.

In return for dropping the suit and consenting to the transfer of its agreements with Motorola to Nokia Siemens, Huawei will receive an undisclosed sum from Motorola.  As well, as part of the agreement, Nokia will be allowed to use certain confidential information of Huawei which was previously disclosed to Motorola, in order to service the networks that Motorola had established worldwide using Huawei technology.
