USITC Sides with Sony Against Fujifilm in Patent Dispute

2019/04/09

 

The US International Trade Commission (USITC) has issued an order preventing Fujifilm from importing certain magnetic tape cartridges following a section 337 patent infringement complaint brought by Sony. Execution of the order has been suspended, however, pending a final decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), which has provisionally found some of Sony's patent claims to be invalid. In its final decision, issued yesterday, March 25, the ITC found that the Fujifilm products infringed two Sony patents covering magnetic recording technology (US numbers 7,029,774 and 6,674,596). It is the latest in a series of patent disputes between the two companies over the technology. Last month, WIPR reported that Fujifilm had appealed a PTAB ruling that two of Sony's patents (US numbers 7,115,331 and 6,896,959) covering magnetic tape media were valid.It is the latest in a series of patent disputes between the two companies over the technology.
