The court opens contempt proceedings over the Chinese firm’s refusal to pay the American company royalties on a series of radios. The Chinese firm rejects the claim that its radios violate any trade secrets or copyrights of the American company. A jury concluded it had infringed on other copyrights held by the American company in a 3.5-month trial that concluded in February 2020, but that trial didn’t cover the radio products at issue here. The same jury ordered the Chinese firm to pay the American company over $543 million in royalties. While contempt proceedings are open, the court also forbids the Chinese company from pursuing a separate litigation against the American company in China in order to “protect [its] jurisdiction.”
