Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) (“Motorola Solutions” or the
“Company”) today announced it has filed complaints in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Hytera Communications
Corporation Limited (SHE: 002583) (“Hytera”) of Shenzhen, China. The
complaints assert that Hytera’s two-way radios, base stations, repeaters
and dispatch systems, as well as its related commercialization and sales
activities, are infringing patents owned by Motorola Solutions and
utilizing stolen Motorola Solutions trade secrets.

Motorola Solutions believes that Hytera is intentionally infringing its
intellectual property and misappropriating its trade secrets, which has
enabled Hytera to compete unfairly by bypassing investment in innovation.

Mark Hacker, general counsel and chief administrative officer of Motorola
Solutions, said, “Motorola Solutions has a long and distinguished track
record of developing industry-leading products and technologies, reflecting
our significant investments in research and our commitment to innovation.
We are proud to have built an extensive portfolio of more than 4,000
patents, including the patents at issue in these lawsuits, which were
developed by Motorola Solutions’ world-class engineers.”
