Samsung hit with $117M fine over patent infringement
Samsung found itself under a patent infringement case filed with the U.S. District Court in Texarkana, Texas. The court reached an early verdict and ordered Samsung to pay out $117.7 million in damages. The plaintiff? Maxell (formerly Hitachi Maxell), whose patents related to Galaxy smartphone and tablet unlocking tech, data management and smart home platforms were violated. The current case was initially filed back in September 2023 when Maxell accused Samsung of violating seven of its patents by selling a variety of products, including the SmartThings station alongside smartphones, laptops and home appliances all using Maxell's patented tech. Samsung SmartThings station According to a report shared by The Korea Herald, Samsung licensed Maxell's patents for the duration of ten years back in 2011. Once the initial agreement expired in 2021, Samsung continued using the patented tech without renegotiating its license with Maxell. The Japanese company then filed legal complaints across several district courts across the U.S, Germany and Japan. Samsung can appeal the current district court decision to a higher court, and is expected to do so, which means this legal battle is far from over. Source

Samsung hit with $112M verdict in Maxell patent fight, and the drama's far from over
Just when you think the patent wars might be slowing down – bam, another tech giant lands in hot water. This time, it's Samsung, facing a hefty $112 million judgment in the U.S. after a court ruled it stepped on Maxell's intellectual property. And yes, this drama includes smartphones, smart home gadgets, and even a past deal gone cold.A U.S. District Court ruled that Samsung infringed on three patents registered by Japanese firm Maxell, and ordered the South Korea-based tech giant to pay $112 million. Of course, Samsung may appeal this judgment to a higher court if it finds that the ruling isn't satisfactory to it. A report from The Korea Herald indicates that the Court in Texarkana, Texas, said in its verdict that Samsung Galaxy phones, tablets, SmartThings, and even some home appliances are infringing on the patents. The patents are numbers 8,982,086, 10,176,848 and 11,017,815 by Maxell. These patents are focused on new methods of device unlocking, processing of information, networking, and even reproduction of images and videos. Maxell requested almost $130 million in damages, but the jury ordered Samsung to pay almost $112 million. This lawsuit started in 2023. It covered a wide range of electronics-related patents that Samsung was claimed to have violated. Back in 2011, Samsung signed an agreement with Hitachi Consumer Electronics (which was a parent firm back then) to use ten patents from Maxell for a period of ten years. Curiously enough, the company didn't renew the agreement, and obviously, the ten-year period ended in 2021. However, it seems Samsung continued to use the patents in its products. Maxell then contacted Samsung, but the tech giant reportedly claimed the patents were now invalid. The Japanese firm then sued Samsung in multiple markets, including Germany, Japan, and the U.S. At the moment, it's not clear whether Samsung will agree to pay or whether it will appeal the decision and continue the drama. Whether Samsung decides to pay up or fight it out in a higher court, this is just another chapter in the ongoing tech patent drama. And it's not just Samsung – other big names like Apple have had their fair share of these legal battles too. In the world of gadgets and smart devices, it seems there's always something to argue over, it seems.

Samsung hit with $117m judgment over patent infringement against Maxell
Samsung Electronics was ordered by a US federal jury to pay $117.7 million in damages to Japanese electronics firm Maxell for infringing on several technology patents related to smart home platforms and smartphones. The verdict, delivered by a federal jury in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on Wednesday, sided with Maxell that Samsung's Galaxy smartphones, tablets and other devices infringe on three of Maxell's US patents related to the unlocking function on devices, managing data and the reproduction of images and videos. The verdict, however, is not a final ruling and could be subject to appeal. The case dates back to September 2023, when Maxell sued Samsung alleging the tech giant violated seven patents by producing and selling a wide range of products, including the SmartThings station, smartphones, laptops and home appliances. According to the complaint, Samsung and Maxell's relationship dates to 2011 when Samsung signed a licensing agreement with Maxell's predecessor Hitachi Consumer Electronics to use 10 of its patents for a 10-year period. The agreement expired in 2021, but Samsung continued to use the patented technology without renewing the license. Maxell argued that it contacted Samsung about the violations and to request a new licensing agreement, but Samsung refused. Instead, the Korean company continue to make and sell products with the disputed technology, prompting Maxell to pursue legal action in multiple jurisdictions, including the US, Germany, Japan and the US International Trade Commission. Since then, Maxell has been stepping up its legal offensive. In April, it filed another lawsuit against Samsung in Texas alleging a similar patent violation.
