Ericsson and Transsion settle global patent litigation
Ericsson and global Chinese smartphone maker Transsion have reached a settlement resolving their dispute over a multi-year, global patent cross-license agreement.
As part of the settlement, all ongoing lawsuits and administrative proceedings filed by either company across multiple jurisdictions will be withdrawn.
The financial benefit for Ericsson from the settlement is expected to be reflected beginning in Q3 2026. Opportunities remain to further grow IPR revenues.
Over several decades, Ericsson has been a leading contributor to 3GPP and to the development of global mobile standards for the benefit of consumers and enterprises everywhere. The value of Ericsson’s patent portfolio of more than 60,000 granted patents is strengthened by our leading position as a 5G vendor, and annual investments of around USD 5 billion in R&D.
