WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Marco Rubio filed legislation on Monday that would prevent Huawei Technologies Co Ltd from seeking damages in U.S. patent courts, after the Chinese firm demanded that Verizon Communications Inc pay $1 billion to license the rights to patented technology.Under the amendment - seen by Reuters - companies on certain U.S. government watch lists, which would include Huawei, would not be allowed to seek relief under U.S. law with respect to U.S. patents, including bringing legal action over patent infringement.On June 12, a person briefed on the matter said Huawei had told Verizon that it should pay licensing fees for more than 230 of the Chinese telecoms equipment maker’s patents and in aggregate is seeking more than $1 billion.It appeared to be a new strategy in Huawei’s ongoing battle with the U.S. government. National security experts worry that “back doors” in routers, switches and other Huawei equipment could allow China to spy on U.S. communications. Huawei has denied that it would help China spy.Rubio, one of the Republican party’s leading foreign policy voices, filed the measure as an amendment to the annual National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, a massive bill setting policy for spending by the Department of Defense.While the measure is several steps from becoming law, lawmakers have successfully used the NDAA in past years to crack down on the Chinese firm.Reporting by Patricia Zengerle; Editing by Leslie AdlerOur Standards:The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

据路透社报道，美国参议员卢比奥周一提出立法，阻止华为在美国专利法院寻求损害赔偿，此前华为曾要求美国运营商Verizon支付10亿美元的专利授权费。根据这份修正案，在美国政府观察名单上的公司，包括华为，将不被允许根据美国法律就美国专利寻求救济，包括对专利侵权提起法律诉讼。卢比奥是共和党主要的外交政策代表之一，他将这项措施作为国防部年度授权法案的修正案提出。
