Ericsson and Lenovo have reached a settlement to resolve their patent licensing dispute over a multi-year, global patent cross-licence agreement between the two companies.

As part of the settlement, all ongoing lawsuits and administrative proceedings filed by both companies in several countries will be withdrawn.

Financial impacts are expected to be recognised from Q2 2025, reflecting the partial settlement. The remaining patent licensing dispute will be fully resolved through an arbitration process between the parties, advised Ericsson.

Lenovo sued Ericsson in London in 2023, one of a number of cases brought raised between the companies around the globe over 4G and 5G wireless technology. The companies had also sued one another in Brazil, Colombia and the US. Their dispute raged on the fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms for a licence to use Lenovo and Ericsson’s patents
