ITC Begins Section 337 Patent Investigation of Samsung, Nokia, ZTE & Huawei 3G/4G Devices

The International Trade Commission instituted an investigation to determine whether wireless devices with 3G and/or 4G capabilities that infringe InterDigital’s patents are being imported and sold in the U.S. in violation of Section 337. InterDigital Communications, InterDigital Technology Corporation, IPR Licensing, Inc., and InterDigital Holdings, Inc. filed the joint complaint Jan. 2, asking that the ITC issue limited exclusion and cease and desist orders against Samsung, Nokia, ZTE, and Huawei. Products that InterDigital wants to exclude include the Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, and Galaxy Note; the Nokia Lumia 822 and 920; the ZTE Avail, JetPack, and 4G Hotspot; and the Huawei MediaPad, USBConnect, Activa, and My Touch.
