The Delhi High Court has reportedly granted an ex parte injunction order against Xiaomi for allegedly infringing on Ericsson's Standard Essential Patents (SEPs).
The ex parte injunction against Xiaomi, reported by SpicyIP, stops the Chinese manufacturer from "selling, advertising, manufacturing or importing devices" that infringe upon Ericsson's patents.
It isn't clear right now if this will affect the sales of all Xiaomi handsets in India, or if the case pertains to any specific devices.
Reports indicate that Flipkart is also implicated in the case,
Xiaomi India head Manu Jain said "While we haven't received an official notice from the Delhi High Court, our legal team is currently evaluating the situation based on the information we have.
India is a very important market for Xiaomi and we will respond promptly as needed and in full compliance with Indian laws. Moreover, we are open to working with Ericsson to resolve this matter amicably."
SpicyIP also reports that the Delhi High Court has under IPR Rules, 2007, directed customs officials to stop Xiaomi's imports, and adds that authorities will visit the firm's offices to ensure compliance.
Will this decision mark an end to the most popular budget cellphone with mid end specs?
