# Philips wins $3 million U.S. patent verdict against China's Quectel

By Blake Brittain

Aug 27 (Reuters) - Chinese tech company Quectel (603236.SS) owes Philips (PHG.AS) $3 million for infringing a patent related to 3G and 4G wireless technology, a jury in Delaware federal court said on Thursday.

-   The jury said in a separate verdict on Wednesday that Quectel’s cellular communication modules, which are used in a range of internet-of-things enabled products, infringe one of two Philips patents at issue.
-   The jury determined Thursday that Quectel’s infringement was also willful, which could lead to a judge multiplying the award by up to three times.
-   Spokespeople for the companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the verdict.
-   Philips first sued Quectel in 2020.
-   Quectel denied the allegations and argued that Philips’ patents were invalid.
-   The Dutch company lost a related patent case against Quectel at the U.S. International Trade Commission in 2022.
