The US International Trade Commission (USITC) said on Wednesday that Chimei Innolux Corp (奇美電子), one of Taiwan’s leading flat-panel makers, has been accused of patent infringement by London-based Mondis Technology Ltd.
In a notice on the USITC Web site, the commission said Mondis filed the complaint last Friday, alleging that Chimei Innolux and Innolux Corp of Austin, a Chimei Innolux unit in the US, infringed on Mondis’ patents for technology in video displays and related products.
Mondis named the two companies as respondents, accusing them of violating section 337 of the US Tariff Act for the importation and sale of the products in the US market.
The commission has yet to decide if the case will be probed, following Mondis’ complaint.
If the commission rules that Chimei Innolux and its US unit did infringe on Mondis’ patents, it will issue a remedial order under section 337 that will take effect unless the US trade representative disapproves of the order within 60 days of its issuance.
The most serious punishment would be a ban on the importation and sale of the products in the US.
This is not the first legal battle between Mondis and Chimei Innolux.
In 2008, Mondis filed a lawsuit with a court in the US against Chimei Innolux and several others.
Those included Taiwan’s Hon Hai Precision Industry (鴻海精密) and South Korea’s LG Electronics Co, for infringing on its patents for computer displays.
Last year, Chimei Innolux was ordered to pay US$15 million (NT$450 million) for patent infringement.

ONE TIME PHOTOGRAPHY GIANT Kodak has alleged that Samsung infringed five patents relating to the manipulation of electronic images.
Kodak filed its complaint in the US District Court for the Western District of New York alleging that certain Samsung tablets infringe five patents. The infringement claims, all of which relate to the capture and transmission of digital images, add to Samsung's ever growing list of patents litigation.
As Kodak made its allegations against Samsung the firm also filed for US Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, highlighting the firm's dire financial condition.
Kodak claimed to have licensed its digital imaging patents to more than 30 firms including LG, Motorola and Nokia.
Kodak's patents, which as usual seem shockingly broad, include one for "Capturing Digital Images to be Transferred to an E-Mail Address" and "Electronic Camera For Initiating Capture of Still Images While Previewing Motion Images".
In announcing Kodak's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, Antonio Perez, chairman and CEO of Kodak said, "Chapter 11 gives us the best opportunities to maximize the value in two critical parts of our technology portfolio: our digital capture patents, which are essential for a wide range of mobile and other consumer electronic devices that capture digital images and have generated over $3bn of licensing revenues since 2003."
Even though Kodak might be on its last legs, forcing Samsung to license its patents will be critical for the firm to capture residual value for its creditors.
