French organization summons Samsung in IP infringement


Thursday, July 22, 2004 The French Commission Energie Atomique (CEA) on Tuesday (July 20) said it has summoned South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. for allegedly violating its liquid-crystal display patents in France.

Convinced that its technology is being counterfeited, the French R&D organization has summoned the South Korean company before the Paris Tribunal de Grande Instance.

CEA claims it holds a portfolio of patents on LCD technology, including those based on a so-called Vertically Aligned (VA) high contrast technique. This technique allows a wide angle of view and offers a higher quality of image. It is used for large-size screens on TVs and computers.

"The CEA found that Samsung was proposing for sale, in France, products using the VA technology according to its patents, without a licensing contract," according to CEA.

This action forms part of CEA's policy of vigilance in defending its inventions, already applied before the American courts by action taken against six manufacturers of LCD modules .
