Samsung is sued for copyright infringement on the Galaxy S line

Data decoding company PACid Technologies said Samsung's Galaxy S6, S7, S8 and Edge phones use face recognition and their patented fingerprint sensors. In addition, PASS and KNOX biometric software are also copyright infringement.

PACid is claiming up to $ 3 billion and filed with the East Texas court on April 6.

The Korea Herald reported that PACid might just be an unfair patent organization (patent troll - meaning organizations only get patents (maybe because of their acquisition) to go. suing other companies to make money and not produce anything from that) to extort money from technology giants. They have previously sued Google, Apple and Nintendo. Perhaps these allegations will start new lawsuits again, and the victim may have both Google and LG this time.

Samsung is the target of patent dealers

Apple once lost the case

Samsung said that they were ready for the legal battle with PACid, so it was likely that they would not ask for mediation.

The tech giants are often scooped up by patent sellers, accusing them of using technology without authorization. Apple is often the target of these miners, in many cases the digger will withdraw.

However, Apple also lost to VirtnetX Holding Corp, a company of this type. The Texas jury ruled that Cupertino had to pay no less than $ 502.6 million. VirtnetX says that many technologies that Apple uses in FaceTime or iMessage violate patents for securing their chat content.
