Sharp lägger ner stämning mot kinesisk konkurrent
Sharp drar tillbaka sin stämning mot kinesiska elektronikjätten Hisense, rapporterar Caixin. Nyligen stämde den japanska tv-tillverkaren Hisense för att de utnyttjar Sharps varumärke för att sälja tv-apparater med låg kvalitet i Nordamerika.
När Hisense tog över Sharps fabrik i Mexiko 2015 ingick det i avtalet att man skulle få använda varumärket i fem år. Men taiwanesiska Foxconn, som förra året tog över Sharp, vill nu backa ur avtalet, uppger Hisense för Caixin.

Hisense Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 海信集团; pinyin: hǎi xìn jí tuán) is a Chinese multinational white goods and electronics manufacturer headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong province, China. It is a state-owned enterprise with publicly traded subsidiaries.
Hisense has two publicly traded companies, Hisense Electric Co Ltd, which is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE: 600060) and Hisense Kelon Electrical Holdings Co Ltd, which is listed on the Shenzhen (SZSE: 000921) and Hong Kong (SEHK: 921) stock exchanges and a number of other subsidiaries.
Hisense has 13 manufacturing facilities in China (located in the provinces/cities of: Guangdong, Guizhou, Huzhou, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Linyi, Shandong, Sichuan, Yangzhou, Yingkou, Xinjiang, Zibo and the municipality of Beijing) and several outside of China, namely in Hungary, South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, France and Mexico.
Hisense retails products under several brand names. These include Combine, Kelon and Ronshen, etc. Hisense is also an OEM, so some of the products it makes are sold to other manufacturers and carry a brand name not related to Hisense. In 2015 it acquired the right to sell televisions in the Americas using the brand name of the Japanese firm Sharp. It also makes televisions under its own name as of 2013.
