Samsung Electronics Sued for Alleged Smart Home Patent Infringement
Samsung Electronics is embroiled in a series of lawsuits for alleged infringement of patents for smart home IoT technologies in the United States.
Stingray IP Solutions based in Texas filed two patent infringement suits against Samsung Electronics with the Eastern District Court of Texas on Jan. 29 (local time).
They claimed that eight IoT-related patents they have registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) were violated by Samsung Electronics. The patents in question are related to a multi-channel mobile ad hoc network. Stingray IP Solutions pointed the finger at Samsung Electronics’ IoT repeater SmartThings Hub, SmartThings Monitoring Kit, SmartThings Water Leak Sensor, and SmartThings Motion Sensor, all of which are sold in the United States.
