Boston, MA 06/12/2014 (wallstreetpr) – Spherix Inc (NASDAQ:SPEX) is at it again, this time around its wholly-owned subsidiary NNPT, LLC, (NNPT) is training its guns on networking gears provider Huawei. The company claims at least five patent infringements and seeks damages based on the same. The damages could be huge because the company claims that the infringement of its technology has been going on, at least, since January 2011.
The company owns and monetizes patented and unpatented intellectual property. The efforts by Spherix to protect its intellectual property have seen it wage wars against companies such as AT&T Inc (NYSE:T), Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CSCO), Juniper Networks, T-Mobile and Uniden among others.
Huawei in for it
Spherix Inc (NASDAQ:SPEX) filed its latest litigation against Huawei in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The litigation has been filed against Huawie Devices USA Inc, Huawei Technologies Cooperatif U.A, Huawei Technologies USA Inc and Futurewei Technologies Inc, all being identified as “Huawei” in the lawsuit.
Hauwei is one of the largest makers and marketers of networking gears that include routing and switching products.
In the lawsuit, Spherix claims that the patents in question were developed by Nortel Networks. It claims that infringed technology touches on moving data across networks, and it features in the switches and routers sold by Huawei.
NNPT contends that the majority of revenue that Huawei has generated from at least January 2011 is linked to the sale of the products that flout its patents. Therefore, the company seeks to recover damages for revenue associated with the sale of devices that infringe on its patents.
Faith in the court
There is a reason Spherix Inc (NASDAQ:SPEX) moved to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. According to the CEO Anthony Hayes, the court has a “reputation for being extremely knowledgeable about patent laws.” The CEO Hayes also stated the company will continue to aggressively protect and monetize its valuable intellectual property.
