In a press release, Lenovo detailed that the action was in response to August 2023 filings from Asus in the Regional Court of Munich related to cellular technologies.
Lenovo’s release declared it is a “strong proponent” of licensing agreements and FRAND terms, but in the next paragraph, Chief IP officer, John Mulgrew offered a caveat:
In a statement filed with the US International Trade Commission (ITC), Lenovo stated it seeks a limited exclusion order barring US entry to accused products.
Lenovo claimed in its lawsuit that it “has suffered, and continues to suffer, immediate and irreparable harm as a result of Defendants’ past and continuing infringement” and therefore called for Asus to “cease and desist from marketing, advertising, distributing, offering for sale, selling, or otherwise transferring, including the movement or shipment of inventory” the infringing products.
Among the four disputed patents is one concerning improvements that reduces the number of steps – and thereby overall delay – when transmitting an uplink package; a Wireless Wake-On-LAN Power Management technique; an invention that allows a user to initiate a diagonal scroll at any location by using two fingers; and a hinge block that enables a laptop to convert to a tablet.
In its California lawsuit, the ThinkPad-maker claimed it is entitled to damages, including lost profits, caused by the alleged patent infringement.
