Comments Due Oct. 12 on Complaint That Samsung Phones Violate Tessera Patents

Comments are due Oct. 12 at the International Trade Commission on public interest issues raised by Tessera Technologies’ Tariff Act Section 337 allegations that various Samsung mobile devices containing “wafer-level” packaged (WLP) semiconductors infringe two Tessera patents (see 1709290044), said a notice in Wednesday’s Federal Register. Tessera’s complaint (docket 337-3262) seeks exclusion and cease and desist orders against Samsung devices containing WLP-based power management chips, including the Galaxy 8 and Note8 smartphones. Samsung is “looking into” the Tessera complaint and “will take necessary measures accordingly," said the company in response (see 1710020033).
