Furthermore, Philips did not only sue Xiaomi in one country. According
to JUVE Patent information, several lawsuits are also pending in the
UK, Netherlands, Spain and India. Xiaomi had called on the court to do
so. Apparently, lawsuits have also taken place between the two
opponents in China. As is usual in other global patent disputes, it is
therefore likely that Philips and Xiaomi have agreed on a global
licence. So far, however, neither party has confirmed the settlement. It
is not known whether Philips has also withdrawn the lawsuits in the
other countries.
