InterDigital calls for sales ban against Samsung, Nokia, others
A complaint filed by InterDigital with the U.S. International Trade Commission wants a ban on wireless devices made by Samsung, Nokia, ZTE, and Huawei Technologies.
InterDigital is on the patent warpath again.
The company, famous for holding a boatload of patents on wireless products, filed a complaint yesterday with the United States International Trade Commission against the usual round of tech players.
Citing infringement against seven of its patents, InterDigital wants the ITC to ban the U.S. import of products made by Samsung, Nokia, ZTE, and Huawei.
Specifically, InterDigital alleges that the companies in question have engaged in unfair trade practices by selling certain 3G and 4G wireless devices that violate the seven patents. Without naming any specific products, the complaint points to mobile phones, USB sticks, mobile hot spots, laptops, and tablets.
Headquartered in Philadelphia, InterDigital develops and patents wireless technologies used in an array of devices.
