Trade Commission Seeks Comments on Another Ericsson Complaint

Comments are due to the International Trade Commission Oct. 26 in a potential investigation on imported electronic devices, says a notice for Wednesday’s Federal Register. Ericsson filed a complaint Thursday alleging Motorola and Lenovo import devices, including mobile phones, that infringe on four of Ericsson's patents for semiconductor chips, cellular communications, video encryption and video controls. Ericsson seeks a permanent limited exclusion order against Lenovo and its subsidiaries, plus cease and desist orders. The company filed another complaint against Lenovo and Motorola Oct. 11 at the ITC for alleged infringement of Ericson's cellular communication patents (see 2310160032).
