Hytera Blames "Villains" for Stealing Motorola IP
Hytera alleged its own employees were "villains", defending the company against Motorola's lawsuit that Hytera stole Motorola's IP, maintaining that the rest of Hytera knew nothing about the theft.
In this report, IPVM examines Hytera's allegations, who those employees were and how they related to Hytera's executives.
This is the first post in a series of reports explaining the Motorola Solutions v. Hytera US court case. For background on Hytera and the lawsuit, see Hytera Company Profile.
