Tela Innovations Sues Handset Manufacturers Over Patent Claims
Published on:
Tela Innovations has filed a complaint against a number of handset manufacturers claiming that they infringe seven of its patents.
The complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) is against HTC, LG Electronics, Motorola Mobility, Nokia, and Pantech.
Tela says that it has created patented design solutions for IC manufacturing processes where lithography-driven constraints require novel approaches to both digital circuit design and the physical implementation of these designs. These solutions are utilized in the most recent generation of products offered by the named Respondents.
"Tela has, and continues to, create technology to address critical technical and economic challenges facing the semiconductor industry. Our products enable designers to achieve the best performance, area and power characteristics possible as semiconductor processes continue to scale. Given the significance of our company's investment in this technology and associated products, it was necessary to take legal action at this time," said Scott Becker, president and CEO of Tela.
Tela's complaint with the USITC seeks an exclusion order that would bar from entry into the United States infringing smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices that are imported by or on behalf of Respondents. Tela also seeks a cease and desist order to bar further sales of infringing products that have already been imported into the United States. Under its rules, the USITC has thirty days from the filing of the complaint to decide whether to formally institute an investigation.
Tela also filed parallel actions in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that handset manufacturers same devices infringe the same patents identified in the USITC complaint.
