iRobot Files a Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against SharkNinja
iRobot is once again targeting a rival in the robotics industry over alleged patent infringement at the US International Trade Commission (ITC).
The ITC confirmed last week that it had begun an investigation into products sold by SharkNinja, a Massachusetts-based home appliances manufacturer, following a complaint from iRobot.
According to iRobot, certain products in the ‘Shark’ vacuum cleaner range infringe its IP, with iRobot asserting a total of five patents in the ITC complaint.
The Roomba manufacturer has sued SharkNinja for patent infringement before and has also had previous success in tackling patent infringement at the ITC.
