SAMSUNG Electronics has launched legal action against Taiwan's AU Optronics Corp over alleged patent infringement in liquid crystal displays and vowed to protect the fruits of its investments in research and development.
Samsung said yesterday in a statement that it filed a complaint the day before with the United States International Trade Commission against AU and its customers for allegedly importing and selling LCD devices used in products such as TVs that the South Korean firm claims infringe five of its patents. Samsung is seeking an order to prohibit the import and sale of those LCD devices.
Suwon-based Samsung also said it filed a legal action against the Taiwan company in the US District Court of Delaware seeking damages over alleged infringement of the same patents included in the complaint.
Samsung also filed a separate complaint in the US District Court for the Northern District of California seeking damages for alleged infringement of two additional patents. And in an apparent preliminary move to prevent possible counter action by AU, Samsung is also asking that court to declare that its products do not infringe two AU-owned patents.
Samsung is the world's biggest manufacturer of LCDs, which are used in products, including flat screen TVs, computer monitors and mobile phones.
The company said its investments in LCD research and development have yielded major advancements in the technology.
