Motorola Stops RAZR Copycat in KoreaMotorola, Inc. announced today that it has reached agreement in a lawsuit filed in January against Korean manufacturer KBT Mobile Company, Ltd. for infringements of patents, trademarks and designs for the acclaimed Motorola RAZR mobile phone.
With the settlement, KBT has agreed to discontinue all manufacturing and sales of RAZR look-alikes.
Motorola had filed the lawsuit upon learning of KBT's attempts to sell RAZR look-alikes in Asia.
Motorola had launched an investigation after the company began to receive inquiries about Motorola RAZR look-alikes available in Asia.
Specifically, customers were asking Motorola about a RAZR look-alike, which KBT called the V500 and was marketing in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"We are very pleased that KBT has acknowledged Motorola's legitimate and protected rights to Motorola RAZR-related patents, trademarks and designs," said Yvonne Verse, vice president of Global Intellectual Property Management and Licensing for Motorola's Mobile Devices business.
"To create competitive advantage, Motorola invests extensive human and financial resources to bring compelling innovations to market.
Around the world, we are committed to protecting our investments - and we are prepared to vigorously defend our innovations through enforcement of our intellectual property rights."
