LG escalates patent dispute with Samsung

  • South Korea: Sunday, December 30 - 2012 at 03:37

LG has filed a request for an injunction against one of Samsung's flagship products, escalating its worsening patent dispute with its South Korean rival, AFP has reported. In the injunction, LG Display accused Samsung of infringing three of its patents on LCD panels used in the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet computer. "Through this action, LG Display seeks to completely stop the sale, manufacture and importation of the infringing Samsung product," the firm said. The company also said it would request compensation amounting to $933,000 per day in the event of continued non-compliance. The two companies have been in a patent row since September when LG Display, one of the world's top flat-screen TV makers, filed suits against Samsung Electronics and Samsung Display for allegedly infringing patents on seven organic light-emitting diode (OLED)-related technologies.
