Business Wire
Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ: IMMR), a leading developer and
provider of technologies for haptics, today announced that it has
filed patent infringement lawsuits against several companies of the
Xiaomi-Group in Germany, France and India. Immersion filed
complaints against Xiaomi-Group companies and their agents in the
Düsseldorf Regional Court in Germany, the Tribunal judiciaire de
Paris (Paris First Instance Civil Court) in France, and the High
Court of Delhi, at New Delhi, in India.
The complaints allege that Xiaomi’s smartphones, including the
Xiaomi 12, infringe Immersion’s patents that cover various uses of
haptic effects in connection with such smartphones. Immersion is
seeking injunctions that would allow Immersion to prohibit Xiaomi
from selling the infringing smartphones in Germany, France and
India, as well as costs and damages as compensation for such
infringement.
“Immersion and its employees are proud of its rich history of
almost 30 years of inventing innovative haptic technologies that
allow people to use their sense of touch to engage with products
and experience the digital world around them. Our intellectual
property is relevant to many of the most important ways in which
haptic technology is and can be deployed, and, in the case of
smartphones, haptics is crucial to an immersive user experience.
Many of our licensed customers are market leaders that benefit from
our technology,” said Eric Singer, CEO of Immersion.
“While we are pleased to see that Xiaomi, like many leading
mobile OEMs, has embraced the value of haptics and has adopted our
technology in smartphones, it is imperative that we protect our
business against infringement of our intellectual property in which
we have invested heavily over decades of our history,” continued
Singer. “We will vigorously defend our intellectual property when
it is infringed.”
The complaints against Xiaomi assert infringement of the
following patents:
- EP 2 463 752 B1 (German part) titled “Haptisches
Feedback-System mit gespeicherten Effekten”
- EP 2 463 752 B1 (French part) titled “Système de rendu haptique
avec stockage d’effets”
- IN 304 396 (India) titled “Haptic Feedback System With Stored
Effects”
