Hewlett-Packard sued Acer in a US court on Tuesday alleging the Taiwan-based computer maker with unauthorised use of its patented technology.
HP asked a federal judge to bar Acer from selling computers with the disputed technology in the United States and demanded triple cash damages because of "Acer's willful infringement" on five patents.
"This action was necessary because HP believes Acer has been selling computer products that use HP's patented technologies without permission," the Palo Alto, California, computer giant said in a written release.
"HP today is taking necessary action to protect its intellectual property against unauthorized use. HP respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the same treatment in return."
The technology at issue was used in Acer personal computers, including desktops, laptops, and media centers for homes or businesses, according to the suit filed by HP
