Taiwan’s ITRI takes LG to court claiming patent infringement

台灣工研院控告 LG 侵犯專利權

A Taiwanese research group accused LG Electronics Inc, the world’s
third-largest mobile-phone maker, of infringing on 22 US patents on mobile
phones, air conditioners, Blu-ray disc players and LCD televisions.

一個台灣研究單位指控世界第三大行動電話製造商--- LG 電子公司，侵犯其與行動電話
冷氣機 藍光光碟播放機以及液晶電視有關的 22 項美國專利。

Hsinchu-based Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI, 工研院), which
is supervised by the nation’s Ministry of Economic Affairs, filed four
lawsuits against LG Electronics. The complaints were submitted on Nov. 26 in
federal court in Tyler, Texas.

由經濟部所主導的新竹工業技術研究院（工研院），對 LG電子公司提起四項專利訴訟。
該等訴訟係於 11月26日 向美國德州泰勒市之聯邦法院提出。

ITRI, which was founded in 1973 “to strengthen the technological
competitiveness of Taiwan” through research and development of new
companies, claims LG Electronics is infringing on patents, including 15
related to LCD televisions and two for mobile phones. Seoul-based LG is the
second-biggest TV maker.

創立於 1973年 以通過研究和育成新公司 來“加強台灣的科技競爭力”的工研院，聲
稱 LG 電子公司侵犯其包括15項與液晶電視以及兩個項與行動電話動有關之專利。漢城的
LG公司是第二大電視機製造商。

Unless LG Electronics is barred from using the inventions, ITRI “will suffer
additional irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law and
impairment of the value of its patent rights,” the Taiwanese institute said
in each of the complaints.

台灣的研究單位針對每一項訴訟表示 除非 LG 電子公司被禁止使用該等發明，否則工業
技術研究院“將會遭受在法律無法適當回復的損害 並會減損其專利權的價值。

The institute is also seeking compensation for the unauthorized use of its
technology.

該研究所還要求對未經授權使用其技術一事進行賠償。

LG Electronics, together with Nokia Oyj and chipmakers including
STMicroelectronics NV, was also sued by the California Institute of
Technology (Caltech) for allegedly infringing its patents.

LG電子公司，以及諾基亞公司與晶片製造商意法半導體，也被加州理工學院控告涉嫌侵
犯其專利。

Caltech, in a complaint filed on Nov. 24 in federal court in Los Angeles,
lists nine patents pertaining to camera technology that it says LG
Electronics and Nokia phones, as well as phones made by Seoul-based Pantech
Co, infringe. The research university, based in Pasadena, California, seeks
unspecified damages for willful infringement.

加州理工學院於 11月24日在洛杉磯聯邦法院提出的訴訟中，列出了九項與攝影機技術有關
的專利，並指出 LG電子公司與諾基亞手機公司，以及由漢城的泛泰有限公司所製造的手機
侵犯了這些專利。該總部設在加利福尼亞州帕薩迪納市之研究型大學，將主張故意侵權之
不特定損害賠償。
