As HTC falls almost indefinitely but keeps awake the aura of its kind pioneers, the reality is to see a Taiwanese company make money is almost always news whatever you have won.
In fact, in this case and as GizmoChina's colleagues have told us, more money will come with a court order behind defeating HTC is a patent infringement against two Chinese manufacturers, Meizu and Gionee, who will pay HTC about 6.5 million yuan in compensation.
The patent is related to one of HTC's finest works in recent years, and it is that Meizu and Gionee use their patent in connection with the smartphone a metal chassis unibody and specific antenna structure which solves the problem of signal transmission under the metal housing completely.
About a million euros in compensation, no more than a band's help
Of course everyone would have seen and used it the HTC smartphones have been announced for its launch "Full metal", so it is understandable that the Taiwanese want to use that patent Gionee broke his law with the Gionee M6 for the most part, and that at first glance you can see the similarity of the design with the HTC solution.
And the Meizu M5 note set to compete in the mid-range looks like an HTC accident, and the reason it gives us no emotion but given to the Taiwanese Beijing Property Court, which concluded that in both cases the HTC identification material had been used in sentencing Gionee and Meizu stop the sale of the species and compensate for the economic loss and court costs at HTC.
The Beijing Intellectual Property Court has ruled in favor of HTC, but in particular the amount of reimbursement
The inspection agency in charge of this process has issued a clear report of “The vision of the judgment”
But then, and though HTC has demanded compensation of 54 million yuan with the economic loss, about 7 million euros, the Court ruled that the information provided by HTC was taken back together with a complex benefit line to calculate how to support such compensation, reduced on a legal basis until 3 million yuan to be paid by Meizu and 2.6 million yuan to be paid by Gionee Corporation, many costs and procedures.
In total about 6.5 million yuan, something like 850,000 euros in current exchanges, that compensation it seems to be a band's tool to impress others without harming others
