Tessera Technologies, a US-based semiconductor company, filed a lawsuit against Samsung last week, industry sources revealed on Friday. The firm claims that Samsung made use of some twenty-four patented items, covering a range of semiconductor processing, bonding and packaging technologies, to manufacture components used in the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8.
“Samsung has benefited from its use of our semiconductor technologies for 20 years, having entered into its first license with Tessera in 1997,” Xperi Corp., Tessera’s holding firm said. “Samsung’s most recent semiconductor patent license expired in December 2016, but we believe it is continuing to use our patented technologies without authorization, and without paying us fair compensation.”
Samsung’s been sued in the past and it will (probably) be sued again in the future
This isn’t the first time Samsung has found itself in hot water for patent infringement. Last year, the US-based Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) sued Samsung for violating its FinFET patents. KAIST claimed that it developed the technology, which was later stolen when FinFET developer Lee Jong-ho was invented to demonstrate the technology to Samsung’s engineers in South Korea.
