JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 19, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ParkerVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRKR), a leading developer and marketer of radio frequency technologies used in advanced wireless solutions, announced today that the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has instituted an investigation of the unfair trade practices committed by Apple Inc., LG (LG Electronics, Inc., LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., and LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc.), Samsung (Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC, and Samsung Semiconductor, Inc.), and Qualcomm Incorporated. The unfair trade practices under investigation relate to the importation, sale for importation, and/or the sale after importation of products such the Apple iPhone 6, the Apple iPad Air 2, the Samsung Galaxy S6, and the LG G3, among others. Many of these devices incorporate technology provided by Qualcomm and others that infringe ParkerVision’s patents directed towards radio-frequency technology. The investigation is a result of the complaint filed by ParkerVision in December 2015. The law firm of Mintz Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. is representing ParkerVision in these actions.
ParkerVision’s Chairman and CEO, Jeffrey Parker, commented, “We are pleased with the ITC’s decision to investigate the unfair trade practices that have resulted from the unauthorized use of our patented technologies. We demonstrated our technology to Qualcomm and others in the early 2000’s and we have invested heavily in the continued development and protection of our innovations. We look forward to the ITC’s investigation into the trade practices of the various respondents and the expedited relief that the commission can provide in the protection of our patented rights.”
