Sharp sues Samsung for violating LCD copyright

Sharp has filed a lawsuit against Samsung and its affiliates in the United States, Samsung Electronics America (SEA) and Samsung Telecommunications America (STA), which have infringed the copyrights of its LCD display technology.

Samsung products that Sharp said are using their technology licenses include LCD modules, LCD screens for TVs, PCs, mobile phones and a number of other products.

The case file was filed with the East Texas District Court yesterday (August 6). Accordingly, Sharp requires a lawsuit to be brought to trial and requires Samsung to pay damages.

Sharp holds a lot of technology copyrights related to LCD screens in Japan, the US and some other countries. This is the result of research efforts from the company and also helps the company to earn a huge amount of revenue from licensing licenses.

Sharp and Samsung have been conducting negotiations over the licensing of LCD technology for many years since 2006, but unfortunately everything cannot be resolved on the negotiating table. The last incident was brought before the court.
