A Chinese semiconductor company is seeking 100 million yuan in compensation from U.S.-based Qualcomm Incorporated and another two Chinese companies for trademark infringement.
A court in Shanghai held a hearing on Tuesday, but did not give a judgement in court.
According to the legal complaint submitted by the plaintiff, the "Gaotong" trademark in Chinese characters was registered in 1992, the year the semiconductor company was established.
The company complained that Qualcomm, which produces communication technology and semiconductors, used exactly the same Chinese characters for "Gaotong" as its trademark in advertising after entering the Chinese market.
