WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Marco Rubio filed legislation on Monday that would prevent Huawei Technologies Co Ltd from seeking damages in U.S. patent courts, after the Chinese firm demanded that Verizon Communications Inc pay $1 billion to license the rights to patented technology.Under the amendment - seen by Reuters - companies on certain U.S. government watch lists, which would include Huawei, would not be allowed to seek relief under U.S. law with respect to U.S. patents, including bringing legal action over patent infringement.On June 12, a person briefed on the matter said Huawei had told Verizon that it should pay licensing fees for more than 230 of the Chinese telecoms equipment maker’s patents and in aggregate is seeking more than $1 billion.It appeared to be a new strategy in Huawei’s ongoing battle with the U.S. government. National security experts worry that “back doors” in routers, switches and other Huawei equipment could allow China to spy on U.S. communications. Huawei has denied that it would help China spy.Rubio, one of the Republican party’s leading foreign policy voices, filed the measure as an amendment to the annual National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, a massive bill setting policy for spending by the Department of Defense.While the measure is several steps from becoming law, lawmakers have successfully used the NDAA in past years to crack down on the Chinese firm.Reporting by Patricia Zengerle; Editing by Leslie AdlerOur Standards:The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
據路透社報道,美國參議員盧比奧週一提出立法,阻止華為在美國專利法院尋求損害賠償,此前華為曾要求美國運營商Verizon支付10億美元的專利授權費。根據這份修正案,在美國政府觀察名單上的公司,包括華為,將不被允許根據美國法律就美國專利尋求救濟,包括對專利侵權提起法律訴訟。盧比奧是共和黨主要的外交政策代表之一,他將這項措施作為國防部年度授權法案的修正案提出。
