SEOUL – LG Electronics won a patent infringement lawsuit against TCL Communication Technology and two European affiliates covering specific LTE technology.

A regional court in Germany ruled in LG’s favor last week in a lawsuit the company filed against TCL in November 2019. The ruling found TCL had infringed on claims in LG’s standard essential patent EP 2 627 146 B1 in Germany.

Following the court’s judgment, LG is taking immediate steps to stop TCL from the use of LG’s technology without license. TCL can appeal the judgment, and a nullity action against the patent by TCL is pending.

LG filed two other lawsuits against TCL. One took place Mar. 2, and a third lawsuit will be heard in May.

“Our patented technologies are the fruit of continuous research and development and are central to our ongoing competitiveness in the industry and what motivates our employees to think creatively,” said Cho Hwi-jae, vice president and head of LG’s Intellectual Property Center. “We believe it is our responsibility to vigorously protect our intellectual property against any and all unauthorized uses.”
