Beginning in March 2017, Motorola Solutions filed a series of lawsuits against China-based two-way radio manufacturer Hytera in the United States, Germany, and Australia, as well as with the United States International Trade Commission (USITC). The complaints allege that Hytera is intentionally infringing on patents owned by Motorola Solutions and utilizing trade secrets stolen by three former Motorola Solutions employees who left to join Hytera.{{cite web |title=Motorola Solutions sues Hytera Communications for using stolen patents, trade secrets |url=http://urgentcomm.com/motorola-solutions/motorola-solutions-sues-hytera-communications-using-stolen-patents-trade-secrets}} Motorola Solutions is seeking to stop Hytera from selling and importing its devices in these countries.
