re: Cisco Wins Round 1 Against HuaweiIf Cisco finally wins in court, then it will lose its future in China. Its market share there will drop greatly in no time. Look and see. The best way for Cisco is to make an agreement with Huawei out of court.
re: Cisco Wins Round 1 Against HuaweiCisco should (and probably will) go after them all over the world, including Europe, Japan, Korea and China itself. At the very least the copyright case seems a slam dunk everywhere except possibly China. Cisco has a shot even in China. The Danish company that makes Legos recently won a case in China against toy knock-off makers, even though many people were not expecting the Chinese courts to do anything. The patent cases are more difficult, but the payoff is bigger--Huawei couldn't save itself by simply developing its own equivalent technology.
There's no way to change the apparent culture of rampant theft at Huawei other than making theft not pay. Without the suits, theft pays.
re: Cisco Wins Round 1 Against HuaweiAll Huawei needs is to disable those two protocols that no one uses anyway and change the wording of the help files.
re: Cisco Wins Round 1 Against HuaweiCisco indicated they tried for a long time to negotiate out of court with Huawei before finally going to court.
Those who are professionals from any country (China or not) recognize that this has nothing to do with race and everything to do with whether intellectual property should be protectable or not. Even Chinese who are forward thinking recognize that very well. Nobody becomes great by copying or stealing.
If Huawei can become a great power without using techniques which are illegal, thats fantastic, good luck to them!
re: Cisco Wins Round 1 Against HuaweiIf Cisco finally wins in court, then it will lose its future in China. Its market share there will drop greatly in no time. Look and see. -------- The history of these sorts of disputes suggests that cisco's future in china will not change regardless of the court case. If the chinese government favors Huawei enough to block cisco from its market in retaliation, they will favor Huawei over cisco in every other situation.
And as far as settling, going to court wasn't ciscos first choice. The court case happened because of Huawei's arrogance.

Another perspective is to focus as much, or more, effort on the "pay" as on the "not pay". In other words, enabling people so they can earn an honest living would be part of any culture that discourages thievery.
re: Cisco Wins Round 1 Against HuaweiNobody becomes great by copying.
This seems to be a difficult lesson to teach. Ever watch a group of students assigned to a problem? The majority looks to everybody else for the answer. I've seen this behavior from from 1st grade all they way through university levels.
Rewarding original work is necessary to acheive greatness. And unfortunately, most metrics we use today which attempt to measure things seem to miss the mark and rather motivate "copying" behavior (though these poor metrics do seem to make it easier to apply things like status symbols). We'll need to find a way to grow past that if we are to achieve our greatness.
re: Cisco Wins Round 1 Against HuaweiIf Huawei modifies its software so that it removes everything related to Cisco law suite, then asks all its customers to upgrade the router image, then can they come back to US market ?
re: Cisco Wins Round 1 Against Huawei"Nobody becomes great by copying."
I guess you must be too young to know what the Japanese did back in the 60's and 70's. Among other things, they took over the TV market completely. Not to mention cars.....
