What They Say
Universal Electronics (UEI), the remote control specialist, said that it has won a dispute with Roku over a patent issue. The decision was given by the US ITC and applies also to TCL, Funai and Hisense, who use the Roku OS. The ITC issued an order to prevent importation of affected products that will become final on 9th January 2022. However, Roku has a different view and said that two of three patent infringement claims had been rejected and that the firm had modified products to avoid the third patent. UEI said that Roku’s firmware changes had not stopped the infringement.
Roku is also claiming that UEI is infringing two of its patents.
What We Think
Well, the lawyers and expert witnesses will be doing well out of this dispute! (BR)
