Another good brother, Ericsson and Samsung settle patent disputes

2021.05.09

According to foreign media, Ericsson has reached a multi-year agreement with Samsung on global patent licensing, thereby resolving a patent dispute. Based on this, the two parties will withdraw complaints filed in the US International Trade Commission and ongoing litigation in multiple countries. Both parties refused to disclose the terms of the agreement on the grounds of confidentiality.



Ericsson said in a statement that this cross-licensing agreement covers network infrastructure and mobile phone sales starting January 1, 2021. Ericsson was founded in 1876 in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. From the early production of telephones and program-controlled switches, it has grown to the world's largest mobile communication equipment supplier. Ericsson has operations in more than 180 countries and regions around the world, and is the world's leading supplier of end-to-end comprehensive communication solutions and professional services. .

Prior to this, ATIS, the telecommunications industry solution alliance, has started research work on the 6G roadmap. Alliance members AT&T and Ericsson want to lead the overall strategy and direction in North America. AT&T executive vice president and chief technology officer Andre Fuetsch is the chairman of the executive management organization, and Jan Soderstrom, head of Ericsson's Silicon Valley technical office, is the vice chairman.
