LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Typhoon Touch Technologies Inc. said it has
expanded its patent infringement suit commenced in December 2007 against Dell
Inc. by adding
Apple Inc., Nokia Inc. , LG Electronics USA, Inc. and others.
Typhoon Touch, owner of foundational intellectual property in the area of
portable touch-screen computing, said it believes that numerous defendants are
selling and/or offering for sale what could be millions of devices which may
infringe Typhoon's patents.
Typhoon Touch and its licensee and co-plaintiff, Nova Mobility Systems Inc.,
previously reached an out-of-court settlement with Motion Computing Inc. and
recently completed a settlement with
Electrovaya Inc, wherein Electrovaya recognized the validity of Typhoon's
patents at issue in the litigation.
Electrovaya acknowledged infringement of one or more of the patent claims
and made an undisclosed royalty payment of at least 20 percent on past and
future sales of its Scribbler Tablet PC's in the United States, the company
said.
Typhoon Touch also added Fujitsu Computer Systems Corp; Toshiba America
Information Systems Inc.; Lenovo (United States) Inc.; Panasonic Corporation of
North America; HTC America, Inc.; Palm Inc.
and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. to the lawsuit.
