Innolux Corporation sued China-based HKC companies for patent infringement

　On February 12, 2018, Innolux Corporation (“Innolux”) filed 17 patent infringement lawsuits with Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court and Ningbo Intermediate People’s Court against Chongqing HKC Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (“Chongqing HKC Optoelectronics”), Hefei HKC Jinyang Technology Co., Ltd. (“Hefei HKC Jinyang”) and their distributors.

　According to Innolux, Chongqing HKC Optoelectronics, without due authorization, had been engaged in manufacturing, selling LCD panel products that infringe upon 17 patents owned by Innolux, and also supplying these panel products to Hefei HKC Jinyang for the latter company’s production of HKC TV sets No. H32L1 and H32S2 or other display devices.  The foresaid TV sets have been distributed in large quantity online and in brick-and-mortar stores in China.

　In view of the foregoing, Innolux demanded that Chongqing HKC Optoelectronics and Hefei HKC Jinyang immediately cease their infringing activities to avoid infringement reoccurrence and also cease in manufacturing infringing products and destroy inventory and manufacturing equipment, so as to put an end to HKC companies’ infringement.  (February 2018)
