Hytera responds to Motorola Solutions lawsuit

Hytera has released a statement about the lawsuits brought against them by Motorola Solutions.

As reported in Critical Comms, Motorola has filed complaints against Hytera for patent infringement and trade secret misappropriation.

Hytera said it is disappointed that the company has chosen to raise a lawsuit rather than compete in the marketplace. It will respond to Motorola’s allegations and believes it will be vindicated in the US federal court.

Today’s radiocommunications markets are evolving, demanding new solutions, and are best served by continuous innovation from all market participants. According to Hytera, the company devotes extensive investments and efforts to advancing its technology offerings and solutions to meet the growing needs of radiocommunications markets for products in TETRA, DMR, PDT and other radio technologies.

Since filing its first patent application in 2000, Hytera has been awarded 418 patents worldwide covering numerous innovations and advancements, including 238 patents relating to digital products. The company has been proactively protecting its innovative technologies. Hytera said it has great respect for the intellectual property rights of others.

The company believes that by choosing the courtroom over the marketplace, Motorola Solutions is running from legitimate competition and attempting to use its size and market position to intimidate and prevent other radiocommunications companies like Hytera from achieving the same level of success in the United States that it currently has around the world.

Hytera said it embraces competition, as competition results in increased innovation and more choices for dealers and customers. Hytera will continue to stand by these principles and compete ethically and vigorously to bring cutting-edge products and solutions to the market.
