TAIPEI -- Huawei Technologies is suing Taiwanese mobile chip developer MediaTek over alleged infringement of its intellectual property patents, the latest example of the Chinese company's efforts to increase its collection of licensing fees and royalties.
Huawei, which holds patents for many key mobile technologies, filed the suit in a Chinese district court. MediaTek, the world's top developer of chips used in smartphones and other mobile devices, confirmed the case in a filing to the Taiwan Stock Exchange on Friday and said it would have no significant impact on the chipmaker, but declined to comment further on the matter.
