Cell-phone manufacturer Nokia is suing two companies for manufacturing and selling mobile phones that copy the proprietary and legally protected industrial designs of the Nokia 7260 mobile phone model.
Two of the named defendants in the case are Shenzhen Telsda Mobile Communication Industry Developing Co. Ltd and Song Xun Da Zhong Ke Electronic (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd, both of whom are Chinese phone manufacturers based in Shenzhen, China, Nokia said.
Nokia also named the distributors of the mobile phones, Beijing Tongwanbao Commerce & Trade Co. Ltd An Wai Avenue No. 2 Branch and Beijing Xin Tongwanbao Commerce & Trade Co. Ltd, as co-defendants in the case.
In its complaint, Nokia requests the court order the defendants to cease manufacturing and selling the mobile phones that copy the protected designs and pay monetary damages and costs, which are the usual remedies requested in these types of cases.
