Yes, you saw it right… Xiaomi, the Chinese Manufacturer which entered in Indian market with partnership with Flipkart will no longer be able to sell its mobile phones in India.
The Delhi High Court granted an ex parte injunction order against Xiaomi for allegedly infringing on Ericsson’s Standard Essential Patents (SEPs).
According to Spicyip, by this ex parte injunction, the Chinese Manufacturer will no longer be able to sell, advertising, manufacture or import devices in India that infringe upon Ericsson’s patents. Local commissioners have been appointed to visit Xiaomi officers to ensure the implementation of these orders.
Here is what Manu Jain, Xiaomi India Head responded about this matter —
While we haven’t received an official notice from the Delhi High Court, our legal team is currently evaluating the situation based on the information we have.
India is a very important market for Xiaomi and we will respond promptly as needed and in full compliance with Indian laws. Moreover, we are open to working with Ericsson to resolve this matter amicably.
