From CNET: Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi has confirmed that it will be suspending sales of its handsets in India. The company had been served with an injunction by the Delhi High Court for infringing on Swedish telecommunications firm Ericsson's patents.
Higo Barra, Xiaomi's global vice president, said in a Facebook letter that the company has "been forced to suspend sales in India until further notice due to an order passed by the Delhi High Court."
"As a law abiding company, we are investigating the matter carefully and assessing our legal options," he added.
According to a report by India-based law blog SpicyIP, one of the reasons given for the injunction against Xiaomi was the lack of response to Ericsson's requests; the Swedish company had made six requests since July 2014.
While Xiaomi's Barra did not specify a time when sales would resume, the terms of the injunction bar Xiaomi and its partner, Indian e-commerce site Flipkart, from either importing or selling devices that infringe upon Ericsson's patents until February.
