Infringement Litigation is a Double-Edged Sword: Intellectual Property Analysis of Sharp Corporation’s U.S. Patent No. 7,057,689

On January 24, 2011, Sharp filed two complaints claiming infringement of seven of its LCD-related patents. A lawsuit was filed in Delaware against AU Optronics Corp. and a complaint was filed with the ITC naming AU Optronics, BenQ Corp., Haier Group, LG Electronics, SANYO Electric Co., TCL Corp. and VIZIO, Inc. Sharp has previously tested the litigation waters with one of these seven properties: U.S. Pat. No. 7,057,689 (hereafter ‘689). In August 2007, Sharp filed an infringement claim in the Eastern District of Texas against Samsung.
