"Motorola Solutions Inc. won a $764.6 million verdict after a federal jury in Chicago said Chinese rival Hytera Communications Corp. stole the company’s critical trade secrets for two-way radio technology. Hytera pledged to appeal."
Harris dumped their Momentum line back in 2016.So I guess this also means that the Harris Momentum platform is also dead in the water?! They essentially rebrand Hytera for it as I understand.
I remember a few years back a Chinese Motorola engineer was caught at Chicago O'hare with a one way ticket back to China and a laptop and few dozen flash drives worth of goodies. Bet that was the start of it.
Why does it matter...Curious, "caught" by who?
Usually Hytera comes out with a press release about their appeal plans but so far no word from them.
I wonder how many countries Motorola filed in other than Germany and the US? I remember when Lindows was getting sued by Microsoft, they filed in a number of countries to tie them up.
Will be an interesting time at the IWCE dealers meeting if the meeting and or show isn't canceled by corona virus fears/spread or the dealers not getting paid to come because Hytera is out of business.
Gotta sell a lot of $30 radios on amazon to make that happen... RightI doubt that this is a “Hytera killer”
Look at the copyright infringements between Apple and Samsung.
One entity pays a lot of money to the other, someone changes a bit of their software, and life goes on.
Remember, China based companies are not like companies elsewhere. They are backed by their government. It’s not 6 directors on the board, 2 founders, 10 engineers, and 2 venture capitalists operating the company.
I keep saying that it’s only a matter of time before Baofeng buys Motorola Solutions Inc.
COMPETITION IS THE HEART OF CAPITALISM
