Cisco drops copyright lawsuit against Huawei

29 Jul, 2004

Cisco Systems Inc, the world's largest maker of gear that directs Internet traffic, dropped its copyright lawsuit against China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, the company said on Wednesday.
The dropping of the suit comes after Huawei changed its command line interface, user manuals, help screens and parts of its source code, discontinued the sale of product at issue in the case and agreed to sell only new, modified products globally, Cisco said.
"Protecting our intellectual property is of paramount importance to Cisco," Mark Chandler, Cisco vice president and general counsel, said in a statement. "We are pleased to conclude the litigation as a result of the steps that were taken to address Cisco's concerns."
