The dispute between Datang Mobile and Spreadtrum dates back to 2003

The dispute between Datang Mobile and Spreadtrum regarding the cooperation on TD-SCDMA chips and modules can be traced back to the technical cooperation and development and the signing of the agreement in 2003. The specific dispute began to emerge in 2011. In 2011, Datang Mobile applied to the Beijing Arbitration Commission for arbitration, demanding Spreadtrum to pay the outstanding debt, but the arbitration ruling rejected Datang's request on the grounds that the agreement had expired in 2008.
