BRUSSELS: The European Union<\/a> launched a legal challenge against China at the World Trade Organization on Friday over what it says is a Chinese failure to allow European companies to protect their patents for telecoms technology.

The
Eu<\/a>ropean Commission, which filed the challenge on behalf of the EU's 27 members, said EU companies were being prevented from going to a foreign court to protect their standard-essential patents.

Mobile phone manufacturers need to obtain licences for these patents because they are essential for their products to meet certain international standards.

If the patent holders go to courts outside China, they often face large fines, such as 130,000 euros ($147,758) a day in one case, and the practice undermines their ability to agree licence fees at market rates with Chinese mobile phone makers.

The Commission said that Chinese courts had, since August 2020, been issuing \"anti-suit injunctions\", which prevented EU companies seeking recourse in foreign courts, with the threat of heavy fines as a deterrent.

The European Union had raised this issue on a number of occasions with China, but not resolved it.

The bloc believes China is violating the
WTO<\/a>'s agreement on trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPS).

WTO challenges start with a formal 60-day period of consultations between the parties. If they do not resolve the dispute, the EU can request that a WTO panel rule on the matter. The WTO can take years to resolve disputes.

The European Commission did not specify companies involved. China's largest smartphone makers are Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi and Honor, which was formerly owned by Huawei . European patent holders include Nokia and Ericsson.

The Commission has also consulted with the United States and Japan, whose standard-essential patent holders face similar challenges.

布鲁塞尔:欧盟发起法律挑战对中国在世界贸易组织周五在它所说的是中国的失败让欧洲公司保护他们的电信技术专利。

欧盟ropean委员会提出的挑战代表欧盟27个成员国表示,欧盟企业被阻止去外国法院保护其standard-essential专利。

手机制造商需要获得这些专利许可证,因为他们是必不可少的产品,以满足特定的国际标准。

如果专利持有者去中国以外的法院,他们经常面临巨额的罚款,如每天130000欧元(147758美元)在一个案例中,削弱了他们的能力和实践同意许可证费用按市场利率与中国手机制造商。

该委员会说,中国法院,2020年8月以来,发行“anti-suit禁令”,在外国法庭阻止欧盟企业寻求追索权,高额罚款的威胁作为一种威慑。

欧盟已经提出这个问题与中国在许多场合,但没有解决它。

欧盟认为中国是违反了世贸组织的与贸易相关的知识产权协议(TRIPS)。

世贸组织挑战正式开始60天期双方之间的磋商。如果他们不解决纠纷,欧盟可以请求世贸组织规则。世贸组织可能需要花费数年的时间来解决争端。

欧盟委员会(European Commission)没有指定公司。中国最大的智能手机制造商是同僚,体内,小米和荣誉,这是以前属于华为。欧洲专利持有人包括诺基亚和爱立信。

委员会也征询了美国和日本,其standard-essential专利持有者面临类似的挑战。
