Motorola, Huawei Settle, Now Everyone Can Move On 华为与摩托罗拉和解，各方均受益

There’s a bit of good news coming from the telecoms equipment sector, where Huawei and Motorola have settled their months-old dispute that saw the former sue the latter for stealing intellectual property. (English article; Chinese article) Terms of the settlement are really a secondary issue here, and what’s most important is that this brings the matter to an end and lets everyone move on with their lives. The dispute was already causing a number of major interruptions in the sector, most notably holding up Nokia Siemens Networks’ pending acquisition of Motorola’s networking business. Chinese regulators were hesitating to approve the deal, and many suspected the Huawei lawsuit was the main reason. This settlement could also give a boost to Huawei’s own aspirations to get into the US market, as it will look like a sign of goodwill from a Chinese company in a dispute with a struggling US counterpart.

Bottom line: Resolution of Huawei’s lawsuit with Motorola will allow NSN to close its purchase of Motorola’s networking assets, and could give Huawei’s US aspirations new momentum.

电信设备业传来一个好消息：华为和摩托罗拉已就双方的知识产权纠纷达成和解。和解内容显然是次要的，最重要的是，和解让此事归于结束，各方均可继续推进其业务。这场纠纷已使该行业一些业务受到干扰，其中最知名的就是摩托罗拉与诺基亚西门子通信(NSN)之间的收购交易被搁置。中国监管部门迟迟未就该交易作出批复，很多人怀疑华为起诉案是主要原因。此事的和解也有助於华为进军美国市场，因在与一个陷入困境的美国同业者的纠纷案中，中国公司看起来像是作出了善意姿态。

一句话：华为与摩托罗拉和解将使诺西得以完成对摩托罗拉网络资产的收购，并使华为获得进军美国市场的新动力。
