Alleges Willful Infringement of Four (4) United States Patents
Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI) (NASDAQ:UEIC), a global leader in wireless control technology for the connected home, announced it has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Universal Remote Control, Inc. for patent infringement. Universal Electronics seeks an injunction in addition to monetary damages.
In this lawsuit, Universal Electronics asserts infringement by Universal Remote Control of United States Patent No. 5,414,426, entitled "Favorite Key Macro Command and Chained Macro Command in a Remote Control;" United States Patent No. 5,568,367, entitled "Remote Control with Key Lighting;" United States Patent No. 5,614,906, entitled "Method For Selecting a Remote Control Command Set;" and United States Patent No. 6,587,067 B2, entitled "Universal Remote Control with Macro Command Capabilities.”
“Universal Electronics has built a reputation as a trusted advisor in control technology applications,” says Paul Arling, Chairman and CEO of Universal Electronics. “We spend significant resources in research and development, and are proud of our innovation and industry leadership in control technology. We have tried to resolve this issue amicably with Universal Remote Control, but unfortunately, our efforts were not successful,” added Arling.
Universal Electronics has retained the law firm of Niro, Haller & Niro, a Chicago-based law firm that specializes in intellectual property litigation, to prosecute the case.
Universal Electronics holds 130 US patents and has hundreds of additional patent applications pending in the United States and jurisdictions throughout the world
