China-based telco equipment firm Huawei Technologies has reportedly won a lawsuit filed against its US rival InterDigital over accusations InterDigital abused its market position, say reports. The lawsuit resulted in a $3.28 million fine to the US tech firm.
Huawei won its case in the Higher People’s Court of Guangdong Province since first filing the suit in 2011. The company accused InterDigital of abusing its monopoly position to hike the cost of licensing patents to Huawei.

According to court documents, InterDigital’s behavior sparked an investigation by the International Trade Commission in the US last January.
