Washington Research Foundation sues Nokia, Samsung and Panasonic over patent infringement
US based Washington Research Foundation has filed lawsuits against mobile phone manufacturers including Nokia, Samsung and Panasonic.
The company is claiming that these companies are infringing on a patent for wireless Bluetooth technology held by them.
Washington Research Foundation said its complaint: “Defendants have manufactured, used, imported into the United States, sold and offered for sale devices which, or the use of which, infringes at least the ‘963′ patent.”
The institute is specifically targeting mobile phones containing the Bluetooth chips from British chip maker CSR. CSR itself has not been sued by Washington Research Foundation.
Interestingly, the Bluetooth technology was originally invented by Engineer Jaap Haartsen at Swedish mobile phone maker Ericsson.
