SigmaTel恩威拉客户 文黄专利被举无效

Sigmatel“利”欲熏心

  美国东部时间9月15日(北京时间9月16日)消息,美国国际贸易委员会(ITC)本周五做出最终裁决,珠海炬力生产的数字音乐播放器系统芯片控制器侵犯了SigmaTel的两项专利。

Sigmatel“利”欲熏心

  珠海炬力却戏剧性地抢在该裁决公布“前夜”一纸诉状将矽玛特送上了中国法庭,使这起中美MP3专利“第一案”又起一波。

事件相关一
  便携式MP3播放器最初由韩国人文光洙和黄鼎夏(Moon & Hwang)于1997年发明,并申请了相关专利。据SigmaTel公司亚洲区市场传讯经理冯美宝女士介绍,该专利是MP3播放器的基础,也就是说市场上任何便携式MP3播放器都是在这种基础技术架构下设计的
事件相关二
  文光洙与黄鼎夏在申请完专利后将其分别转让给两间不同的公司,并于其后数度转让,由于一直未得到其他专利持有人授权,所以任何一方均无法单独提出专利所有权主张。而SigmaTel公司于今年1月完成了将分散在不同组织的相关专利权全部收购到自己名下,从而最终可以以专利所有人的身份主张其权利。
事件相关三

  该专利已分别在美国、韩国以及中国大陆等区域进行了注册并得到批准,因此凡是在这些地区未经SigmaTel公司授权生产销售MP3播放器,都将面临专利侵权指控。冯美宝表示:“只要是使用SimgaTel公司芯片设计的MP3产品则无须缴纳专利使用费,而用其它公司方案的我们将保留追诉的权力。
