The communication - patent dispute case between Datang Mobile and Xiaomi is set to go to trial in a local German court in March 2026. Back in June of this year, IP Fray reported that Datang had initiated a lawsuit against Xiaomi in Germany. Half a year has passed, yet the conflict between the two parties remains unresolved.
According to individuals with inside knowledge of the situation, the root cause of this protracted dispute lies in Datang Mobile's outrageously unreasonable patent - licensing fee quote to Xiaomi. This fee far surpasses those demanded from overseas manufacturers like Apple and Samsung. Both the monetary amount and the rate are several times higher than what Apple pays, bordering on an exorbitant and unjustifiable level.
