11-Day Filing Extension Sought for Response to Philips on IP Complaint

All respondents accused in the International Trade Commission probe of infringing Philips high-bandwidth digital content protection patents (see 2010190036) asked Administrative Law Judge Cameron Elliot for an 11-day deadline extension to Nov. 20 for responding. “The ability of Respondents to fully investigate and compile the information necessary to respond to Philips is limited by the current pandemic and corresponding restrictions,” said their motion (login required) Tuesday in docket 337-TA-1224: Philips and ITC staff don’t oppose the extension. The accused products include Dell, HP and Lenovo PCs; Hisense, LG and TCL smart TVs; and Intel, MediaTek and Realtek processors.
