Motorola win the infringement case

Beijing High Court recently affirmed the judgment of Beijing First Intermediate People's Court in which it rules that Motorola does not infringe Zhu Zhanxin’s patent. Zhu Zhanxin instituted the patent infringement lawsuit against a Chinese seller and Motorola soon after his patent was granted in early 2005. Then Motorola submitted a request to invalidate Zhu’s patent before the Patent Reexamination Board. The Board held partial claims valid on February 2006. Motorola appealed this decision to Beijing First Intermediate People's Court, and, after Beijing First Intermediate People's Court affirmed the decision of the Board, then appealed to Beijing High Court. Later Motorola withdrew its appeal for the decision of the Board. On November 30, 2006 Beijing First Intermediate People's Court ruled that Motorola does not infringe Zhu’s patent. Zhu appealed to Beijing High Court. Now Beijing High Court affirmed the judgment of Beijing First Intermediate People's Court.
