中国企业向高通索赔1000亿美金
Beijing (AFP) - A Chinese semiconductorcompany will seek a $100 billion penalty against Qualcomm for trademarkinfringement, it said Tuesday -- almost as much as the US mobile chip titan'sentire market capitalisation.
北京（法新社）-中国一半导体公司周二宣称，将向高通寻求1000亿美金的商标侵权索偿——几乎相当于这个美国移动芯片巨头的整个市值。
The claims from Shanghai-based GenitopResearch come after Beijing fined the US firm nearly a billion dol lars formonopoly offences.
北京之前因高通犯垄断罪而对其处以近十亿美金罚款，之后这家上海公司也对其提起了控告。Genitop, which develops Chinese characterinformation processing software and semiconductor chips, sued ualcomm lastyear, alleging it had infringed its China-registered trade marks by using theChinese phrase G aotong in its Chinese company name and product brand.
Genitop,开发汉字信息软件处理和半导体芯片的公司,去年起诉高通，指控其在中国公司和产品品牌上用中文短语 “高通”，侵犯了Genitop在中国的注册商标。
Genitop says it registered the phrase,which means "high communication", as its trademark in 1992 .
Genitop说它1992年注册了这个词组作为商标，意思是"高效沟通"。It would seek an "administrative penalty" of $100 billion, Genitop's lawyer Chen Ruojian said, adding thatunder Chinese law, such penalties can be set at three times a firm's sales, andGenitop arrived at the figure by combining three years of Qualcomm's turnoverin China.
Genitop的律师Chen Ruojian说，Genitop寻求1000亿美金的“行政处罚”，按照中国法律，这样的处罚是按照一个公司销售额的三倍来设定，Genitop的索偿额是高通在中国三年的营业额。Qualcomm representatives in China could notbe reached for comment • An email to the firm's US headquar rs was notimmediately answered.
高通的中方代表尚未对此作出评论。发送给高通美国总部的邮件尚未得到回复。Qualcomm said last month that it will pay 6.088 billion yuan and modify its business practices in China t o end anofficial anti-trust investigation. That fine was equivalent to eight percent ofQualcomm's 2013 sa les in China, authorities said.
高通上个月说它将支付60.88亿人民币，调整在中国的商业行为,以结束一个反垄断调査。专家说，这笔罚款等于高通2013年在中国8%的营业额。Beijing has said the probe -- whichformally started in November 2013 -- was triggered after unnamed industryplayers complained the firm was abusing its market dominance to charge highprices.
北京说，这项调查从2013年11月正式开始，导火索是一些不愿意透露姓名的业内人士抱怨高通滥用其市场主导地位来漫天要价。Over the past two years, Chineseauthorities have stepped up scrutiny of foreign firms.
过去的两年多里，中国当局加强了对外国公司的审查。
