Intel Settles with Shenzhen Dongjin

For a closure of their extended legal battle, a case used to be dubbed as the No.1 IPR case in 2005, Intel and Shenzhen Dongjin  Technology made a joint statement, the very first statement on IPR dispute between any American and Chinese companies, in Beijing on May 14, announcing settlement of their IPR disputes in both Shenzhen and Beijing.

The two companies said that given their developing strategies and business operations, pursuing legal actions was not in the best commercial interests of each company.  In light of the common desires and strenuous facilitation of the courts, they reached an out-of-court settlement that accorded with Chinese IPR laws.
Intel filed its suit in December 2004, asserting Shenzhen Dongjin's DN communication card's infringement on intel's Inter Dialogic System Release 5.1.1 software (SR5.1.1), specifically in the header files, and sought $7.96 million in damages.

In April 2005, Shenzhen Dongjin, through its subsidiary, Beijing Dongjin Xinda Technology sued Intel for technology monopoly at the No. 1 Intermediate People's Court in Beijing.
