SHENZHEN, China/WASHINGTON—China’s biggest telecommunications equipment maker will square off in court against the No. 1 U.S. wireless carrier over whether Verizon Communications Inc. should pay Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. for patent infringement.
Late on Feb. 5, Huwaei sued Verizon in two U.S. District courts in Texas, alleging the company used 12 Huawei patents without authorization in areas such as computer networking, download security and video communications. The suit sought an unspecified amount of compensation and ongoing royalty payments.
