Sony settles patent suit – CalTech
Sony settles patent suit over digital cameras With CalTech
Sony Corp. settled a patent-infringement lawsuit filed by the California Institute of Technology over digital cameras.
Terms weren’t disclosed in a federal court filing in the case. “CalTech hereby informs the court that it has resolved its dispute with Sony Electronics and Tokyo-based Sony Corp.,” the school said in a June 23 filing in Los Angeles.
CalTech sued six digital-camera companies, including Canon Inc. and Nikon Corp., seeking royalties on 11 patents related to digital-camera technology. Some of the inventions relate to pixel sensors that improve electronically transmitted images and came from research CalTech did for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, according to information on the patents.
In separate June 23 filings, Nikon and Panasonic Corp. denied CalTech’s infringement claims, said the patents are invalid and accused the school and inventors of misleading the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in order to obtain the patents. Canon, Olympus Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co. haven’t yet responded to the complaints, according to the court docket.
Michael Shore, a lawyer for CalTech with Shore Chan Bragalone in Dallas, said the university reached basic settlement terms with another party in the case and court papers may be filed in two to three weeks.
