Creative Tech awarded $36m in damages in case against Huawei

Creative said its former vendor was "grossly negligent."

Huawei International has been ordered to pay Creative Technology $36m in a court order.

According to KGI, Huawei was held liable for misrepresentation and being "grossly negligent" when it was the vendor for Creative's wireless broadband project.

Huawei filed a counterclaim for relief from damages for the alleged termination of contract.

The court, however, dismissed Huawei's claim and awarded $36m to the company and its subsidiary QMax Communications.

If the judgement does not get appealed, the award will be recognized in the company’s financial statement for the current time period, Creative secretary Ng Keh Long said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
