Samsung Electronics Co. is embroiled in a U.S. patent infringement lawsuit initiated by Staton Techiya LLC, targeting the tech giant's Galaxy and Family Hub series. This case amplifies an ongoing flurry of legal conflicts surrounding Samsung's patent disputes.
The lawsuit involving four patents was filed at the Texas Eastern District Court. It targets certain Galaxy smartphones, tablets, earphones, and Family Hub appliances. Staton Techiya LLC, represented by King & Spalding, initiated this legal action.
This isn't the first time Staton Techiya has taken legal action against the South Korean tech giant. In 2021 alone, the U.S.-based entity filed 10 similar lawsuits related to Samsung's smartphone and earphone technologies. Staton Techiya's claims were partially invalidated in June by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board under the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
To add to the ongoing litigation, Samsung also lodged four patent infringement lawsuits against Staton Techiya last year. In two of these cases, Samsung filed patent invalidation suits at the USPTO.
In a separate case, Samsung recently initiated a series of lawsuits against a California-based wireless charging technology firm at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Yet, the legal challenges don't end there. Mojo Mobility, a company specializing in wireless power technologies, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Samsung in the Texas Eastern District Court.
With a team of experts and innovative solutions, Mojo Mobility is at the forefront of the industry, transforming how devices are powered. Our mission is to provide efficient and convenient wireless charging solutions that enhance the overall user experience.
The claim revolves around the alleged unauthorized use of Mojo Mobility's patented technology in Samsung's flagship smartphone Galaxy series and watches, among other products.
In another dispute, Samsung was ordered by a jury verdict in April to pay over US$303 million in damages to Netlist, a U.S. chip company, in a patent infringement case. Samsung is determined to present a strong legal case until a final ruling is reached.
