Hytera Communications Banned from Worldwide Sale of 2-Way Radios
/The latest chapter in a long-simmering patent dispute between Motorola and Hytera. A US federal court in the Northern District of Illinois has prohibited Hytera Communications, a major provider of two-way radios, from selling, distributing or importing its radios "until further notice," requiring the company to pay a daily fine of $1-million to the court if they do not comply.
Even as it acted in compliance with the US court injunction, Hytera separately announced it was withdrawing its own counterclaims against Illinois-based Motorola that it had filed in a Shenzhen court. Hytera has denied claims that its H-series radios have infringed on Motorola's trademark and copyright.
The US court injunction banning the radios' global sales came just as Hytera was preparing to show at ISC West, a major security conference being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, starting on 9th April 2024.
