14. 4G LTE Dispute
In class, we had learn about the structure of wireless communications, from the base stations, to the various units involved. It then interested me to see that Adaptix Inc. had alleged violations of infringement on its patent regarding certain wireless communications base stations and components thereof. With this, the ITC has instituted an investigation and has identified Ericssons as the respondent. These base stations and components thereof are being used in the next generation wireless communication technologies like 4G LTE, and presents a huge market opportunity. Winning this case would allow for Adaptix to gain a huge market share of this industry and profit from it as imports into the United States, and sale of such base stations and components thereof to be banned, and I am thrilled to see what the decision of the ALJ would be.

Hi Jerel,
ReplyDelete4G LTE generation technology is incredibly complicated and I am looking forward to seeing it integrated into wireless communications technologies in the nearest future.
I've been looking into this case as well. The complaint was filed back in January that is called to be investigated by the USITC. The USITC has more rigid laws against denying investigation of patent infringement, would could be the reason why many tech companies choose this route in terms of legal action.
