On the international front, Chinese telecom equipment supplier, Huawei, has won another battle in the intellectual property war against its rivals.  On May 12, 2011, a German court awarded Huawei with an injunction preventing ZTE from using a trademark designed by Huawei.  The trademark was used to signify compliance with European environmental standards.  Full article here.  ZTE has filed patent infringement cases against Huawei and has applied to have Huawei's trademark revoked.

Back in February, Huawei had been successful in winning an injunction against Motorola who was on the verge of selling assets to Nokia Siemens.  Huawei had provided competitive trade secrets to Motorola when helping develop and design communication networks.  The court ruled that Huawei would suffer irreperable harm if Motorola was allowed to sell assets to Nokia.  Article here.  Huawei later settled the dispute for an undisclosed amount which cleared the way for the Motorola-Nokia deal.
