U.S. Healthcare Firm Files Suit against Samsung
U.S. healthcare company Fat Statz recently filed a patent suit against Samsung Electronics with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Fat Statz made an issue of wearable devices, the Galaxy 20 series, the Galaxy Z Flip, and many other phones coming with the Samsung Health application.
“Our patents are used in generating user comparison data based on genders, ages, heights, time zones, and so on to motivate users,” Fat Statz claimed, adding, “The Samsung Health application provides similar features by infringing upon our patents.”
In the meantime, Sovereign Peak Ventures, a subsidiary of intellectual property transaction and advisory firm Dominion Harbor Enterprises, filed a patent lawsuit against LG Electronics with the same court. LG Electronics’ products facing the litigation include the V60, V50S and V50 ThinQ.
A total of six patents are related to the litigation, including a processor supporting augmented reality and an LTE modem. Dominion Harbor Enterprises bought the patent portfolios from Panasonic in 2018 and 2019.
