Xiaomi Wins Patent Battle Against GE After Nearly 5 Years
Xiaomi has won a five-year patent battle against GE Video Compression, a former member of the HEVC Advance patent pool. China’s Supreme People’s Court upheld the invalidation of GE’s patent, shielding Xiaomi from infringement claims related to the technology. This decision stems from a dispute initiated in 2020, when GE filed an infringement lawsuit against Xiaomi in Germany. Xiaomi strategically challenged the patent’s validity, leading to this final victory. The court determined the patent lacked an inventive step.
