Xiaomi is reportedly no longer allowed to sell handsets in India due to a patent issue with Ericsson.

The Delhi High Court issued the ban Monday as an ex parte injunction order, which prevents the Chinese smartphone maker from not only selling phones that infringe on Ericsson's Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), but manufacturing, advertising and importing them as well, according to NDTV Gadgets.

The injunction was reportedly granted after Xiaomi failed to respond to Ericsson's six missives from July 2014.

Flipkart and Xiaomi are reportedly required to provide details on devices sold in India and evidence that these devices complied with 3G, EDGE and AMR requirements, Yahoo! News reported.

Ericsson says Xiaomi infringed upon eight of its patents, and that it has tried to deal with the issue with the smartphone maker for three years.

"It is unfair for Xiaomi to benefit from our substantial R&D investment without paying a reasonable licensee fee for our technology," the tech giant said.

Manu Jain, India Head of Xiaomi, said in an email that the company has yet to receive an official notice from the Delhi High Court, and that its legal team is currently looking through the situation with the information the team has obtained so far, NDTV Gadgets reported.

"India is a very important market for Xiaomi and we will respond promptly as needed and in full compliance with India laws," Jain added. "Moreover, we are open to working with Ericsson to resolve this matter amicably."

The injunction appears to be the latest effort from Ericsson to protect its SEPS in the India legal system, having previously filed lawsuits against Micromax, Gionee and Intex.
