Who Allegedly Broke Tela's Patents: Is Samsung or Qualcomm the Real Villain?SemiWiki - RandysanFeb. 26, 2013 |
I recently blogged about the actions filed by Tela Innovations at both the US International Trade Commission (USITC) and in federal district court. Those actions allege that five mobile phone manufacturers -HTC, LG, Motorola Mobility, Pantech, and Nokia - were importing handsets into the US which infringed on seven of Tela’s patents. After posting that blog there were a few follow-up comments and questions on that SemiWiki post which caused me to take a deeper look. This blog is to follow-up on those comments in two areas – “patent trolls” and the bigger story, who really may have broken those patents.
