Reportedly, Ericsson repeatedly tried to get in touch with the officials at Xiaomi over the issue, however they never got a response which ultimately led the Delhi High Court to order an injunction on banning Xiaomi from India.

This is not the first time that Ericsson has charged similar patent infringement suits on Micromax, Gionee and Intex last year and before.
