Intel Settles Chinese Copyright Dispute

14 May, 2007, 6:02 pm IST | by AP |

Intel Corp., the world's largest chip maker, said Monday it had settled a copyright infringement dispute with Shenzhen Donjin Communication Technology Co., a Chinese maker of telecommunications and network equipment.

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel sued Shenzhen Donjin in 2004 for alleged copyright infringements on technology used for touch-pad telephone systems. In 2005, a unit of Shenzhen Donjin countersued, saying that the chipmaker engaged in monopolistic practices. The companies have agreed to keep confidential the terms of the out-of-court settlement.

''Continuing a lawsuit doesn't benefit each company's best commercial interests,'' the companies said in a joint statement. Beijing Donjin Xinda Technology Co., the Shenzhen Donjin unit that filed the countersuit, also signed the statement.

The settlement comes a week before the second meeting of the U.S.-China Strategic Economic Dialogue in Washington, where Chinese protection of intellectual property rights will likely be discussed.

Last month, the U.S. filed two complaints to the World Trade Organization, challenging China's lax protection of copyrights, as well as its restrictions on the distribution of foreign movies, music and printed materials.
