Statement Regarding Sony Electronics and Vizio

author Sukhjit Ghag posted 10/29/2009

 

This is a statement regarding a lawsuit between Sony Electronics and Vizio that was settled recently: 

In October 2008, Sony filed a litigation against Vizio in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California for infringement of fourteen of Sony's patents related to color televisions and PC monitors. The parties have now settled all current patent litigation between them, with Vizio becoming a paying licensee under Sony's patents for color televisions and PC monitors. Additionally, under the settlement, during its term, Sony will be licensed under any patents that Vizio purchased this year related to color televisions, as well as any they may own in the future that are related to color televisions or PC monitors.
