The application was dismissed but Huawei and ZTE appealed to the Court of Appeal. The defendants in the Conversant proceedings challenged the jurisdiction of the English court, raising issues (1) and (2). The proceedings in Conversant were brought after the High Court judgment was handed down in Unwired. Huawei’s appeal was dismissed and Huawei now appeals to the Supreme Court. Conversant LLC is a leader in interaction management, empowering brands to transform ordinary customer experiences into meaningful, human experiences. Huawei, with the permission of the first-instance judge, appealed to the Court of Appeal on three grounds, namely Issues (1), (3) and (4).
