In response to the infringement of its patent rights, Huawei issued a court notification.
Given that Compal Electronics is a defendant in this patent dispute, industry insiders believe Huawei’s lawsuit may be related to e-ink screens and related products, according to Chinese media outlet Guancha.
Compal Electronics is a leading Taiwanese computer manufacturer that assembles products for Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and other computer behemoths. It has foundries in Kunshan, Nanjing, and other Chinese cities.
Meanwhile, the Huawei MatePad Paper, a HarmonyOS-powered e-ink tablet released in March of this year, surpassed the Kindle Youth Edition in terms of online sales volume in less than two months, shipping more than 110,000 units in the three months following its release.
In comparison to the Kindle, the Huawei MatePad Paper is based on the HarmonyOS system and has made significant advances in areas that directly improve the user experience, such as content, interaction, ecology, and multi-screen collaboration, making e-ink tablets an ideal device for a larger user base.
On December 8, 2018, the case will be heard in the Intermediate People’s Court of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.
