: Philip Brooks’ Patent Infringement UpdatesApple, RIM, Samsung Chips Targeted in Trade Case
By Philip Brooks
The following is excerpted from a Daily Herald article that appeared today, July 28, 2009:
Apple Inc., Research In Motion Ltd. and six other companies that use Samsung Electronics Co. memory chips were named in a U.S. trade complaint that seeks to block imports of products including the iPhone and BlackBerry Storm.
Closely held BTG International Inc. of West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, claims Samsung's Nand flash-memory chips, which store songs or pictures on portable electronics, infringe five BTG patents. In a complaint filed today with the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, BTG seeks to stop imports of Samsung chips and any products that use them.
The patents relate to ways of programming and reading flash-memory cells that store more than a single bit of information per cell, called "multi-level cell," according to the complaint. That reduces the cost of flash memory and allows consumers to buy cameras that can store more pictures.
