ITC puts a stop to high-def TV imports, claiming patent infringement

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

The International Trade Commission issued an order on Friday in favor of Morrison & Foerster client Funio, blocking rival Vizio from importing high-definition televisions into the United States. This confirms a ruling by an administrative law judge in the Washington, D.C., patent forum that found Vizio and others had infringed on a Funai patent related to receiving digital TV signals.

The case was hotly contested, because the patents are related to the new digital television format being pushed by Congress. Vizio said in a statement that it would appeal the ruling, emphasizing the fact that Funai's patents had been knocked down by the patent office.

Vizio and the other defendants have 60 days to stop importing the televisions, in which time President Obama is allowed to review the decision.
