The Court began the legal procedures in this case where the two accused persons have to respond to the filing within 15 days. A public hearing will take place after the evidence submission period at the Haidian court to proceed with the case ahead.

Huawei has been in the headlines for such cases many times. At the onset of this year, Huawei sued Hanmai Cosmetics and Jishe Clothing for using the trademark “Huawei” to promote their products on the familiar online shopping channel TMall.

During this case, the Chinese tech maker has asked for 10 million yuan ($1.4 million) as the compensation amount. Such disputes often lead to harm for both businesses and customers. Although these attempts have become quite common with the growing advanced technology demand.
