Huawei is facing a lawsuit regarding Image Processing patents

Huawei, the known smartphone maker, is being sued by Cedar Lane Technologies. The latter had filed a lawsuit earlier this week for patent infringement and claims that Huawei infringed on their image processing patents and even used these patented methods in their systems and devices.

According to Cedar Lane Technologies, the Chinese tech giant has infringed on multiple different patents including JPEG compression, scene recognition, electro-luminescent devices, image processing systems, VR camera, and more. Cedar Lane alleged that the smartphone maker has infringed one particular patent on a variety of its products such as smartphones like the Mate Xs, Mate X, Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, Honor View 10, Honor 8 and even tablets like the MediaPad M5, MediaPad M6, and MediaPad T5.”

Cedar Lane said that these products have been β€œmade, used, sold, imported, and offered for sale by Defendant.” The infringement from Huawei revolves around one particular patent, namely 527 patent, which covers β€œ[a] method for interfacing analog/digital converting means and JPEG compression means, said JPEG compression means having a built-in memory device, comprising the steps of: sequentially reading a predetermined number of image lines from the image data output of said analog/digital converting means.”

Proceeding against Google based on new rules for large digital players (Section 19a GWB) – Bundeskartellamt examines Google's significance for competition across markets and its data processing terms

Date of issue: 25.05.2021

The Bundeskartellamt has today initiated two proceedings against Google Germany GmbH, Hamburg, Google Ireland Ltd., Dublin, Ireland, and Alphabet Inc., Mountain View, USA, based on the new competition law provisions applicable to large digital companies. In the past months, the authority has already commenced investigations against Facebook (see press release of 28 January 2021) and Amazon (see press release of 18 May 2021) based on this new competition law tool.

In January 2021, the 10th amendment to the German Competition Act (GWB Digitalisation Act) came into force. A key new provision (Section 19a GWB) enables the authority to intervene earlier and more effectively, in particular against the practices of large digital companies. In a two-step procedure, the Bundeskartellamt can prohibit companies which are of paramount significance for competition across markets from engaging in anti-competitive practices.

Today, the Bundeskartellamt has initiated a proceeding to determine whether the company is of paramount significance across markets.

Andreas Mundt, President of the Bundeskartellamt: "β€œAn ecosystem which extends across various markets may be an indication that a company holds such a market position. It is often very difficult for other companies to challenge this position of power. Due to the large number of digital services offered by Google, such as the Google search engine, YouTube, Google Maps, the Android operating system or the Chrome browser, the company could be considered to be of paramount significance for competition across markets.”"

In a second proceeding based on this general classification also initiated today, the Bundeskartellamt will undertake an in-depth analysis of Google’s data processing terms.

Andreas Mundt: "β€œGoogle’s business model relies to a very large extent on processing data relating to its users. Due to its established access to data relevant for competition, Google enjoys a strategic advantage. We will therefore take a close look at the company’s data processing terms. A key question in this context is whether consumers wishing to use Google’s services have sufficient choice as to how Google will use their data.”"
