Spansion and Samsung in Patent Infringement Suits
One of the technology industry’s largest patent infringement claims ever filed has landed in Delaware.
Today, Spansion Inc. (Nasdaq: SPSN) announced that it is filing two separate patent infringement complaints against Samsung- one with the International Trade Commission and the other in the U.S. District Court in Delaware.
In one of the largest patent infringement claims ever filed, Spansion is seeking the exclusion from the U.S. market of well over one hundred million mp3 players, cell phones, digital cameras and other consumer electronic devices containing Samsung’s infringing flash memory components. The complaint in the US District Court in Delaware also seeks an injunction and treble damages for patent violations relating to Samsung Flash memory, that Spansion estimates has accounted for more than $30 billion in Samsung’s global revenues since 2003.
