Jaguar Land Rover Sues Volkswagen Over Technology Infringement
Back in 2016, Jaguar Land Rover filed a complaint against the Volkswagen Group in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia over the Bentley Bentayga. More to the point, the all-terrain option provides off-road driving mods that are remotely similar to the Terrain Response system in the Range Rover.
Bentley filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, the court dismissed it, and the case has yet to be resolved. Jaguar Land Rover has recently filed a second complaint against the German group over the same problem, namely “certain vehicle control systems” found in Audis, Lambos, Porsches, and Volkswagens.
According to a document filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission, “the complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930.” But this time around, Jaguar Land Rover is more aggressive than four years ago.
