Samsung Electronics Sued by Nanoco for Patent Infringement and it starts on January 6 in the US
On Tuesday, Nanoco Group PLC announced that the US trial for Samsung Electronics Co’s patent infringement would start at the beginning of January 2023.
It is not uncommon for companies to sue each other for alleged patent infringement. In a patent infringement lawsuit, a company that holds a patent for an invention claims that another company is making, using, selling, or importing a product or process that infringes on its patent. If the court finds that the alleged infringer has indeed infringed on the patent, they may be ordered to stop the infringing activity and pay damages to the patent holder.
If Nanoco has sued Samsung Electronics for patent infringement, Nanoco may believe that Samsung is using a patented technology or process without permission. The case’s specifics would need to be examined to determine the allegations and the lawsuit’s legal basis. The case could be resolved through negotiations or a settlement agreement rather than going to trial.
Samsung is accused of violating the Manchester-based manufacturer of quantum dots’ exclusive synthesis and resin capabilities. Samsung QLED televisions employ quantum dot technology. A Quantum light-emitting diode is known as QLED. Additionally, Nanoco is bringing legal action against the South Korean electronics behemoth in Germany and China.
For the start of its trial against Samsung in the Eastern District of Texas, the group claimed to have a “solid” date of January 6. In that case, it means that the parties have likely gone through the pre-trial process and are ready to present their cases to a judge or jury. The purpose of a trial is for the parties to present evidence and arguments to support their positions and for the judge or jury to decide on the case’s outcome.
- In Texas, Nanoco first sued Samsung for patent infringement in February 2020.
- The US Patent Trial & Appeal Board found in favour of Nanoco’s patent claims against Samsung in a separate judicial proceeding in May.
- Samsung filed an appeal last month contesting the Patent Trial & Appeal Board’s conclusions. Nanoco anticipates the appeals’ final result during the third quarter of 2023.
- The organic business and the litigation, according to Nanoco, are both potential sources of considerable shareholder value that might have a seismic impact on company prospects. Nanoco expressed this confidence on Tuesday.
- The financial performance of Nanoco for the first four months of its fiscal year that ended on July 31 was “comfortably in line with” its forecasts, the company added in a trade update on Tuesday.
In a meeting at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, Dr. Hon Pak, SVP, and head of Samsung’s Digital Health Team discussed AI, wearables, and their ability to revolutionize healthcare.
The discussion in the meeting emerged around two key themes: first, how advancements such as generative AI could be harnessed to improve healthcare, and second, Samsung’s ability to contribute to the future of healthcare was a key focus, possibly due to their ongoing innovations.
Professor Myung Jin Chung, Director of the Samsung AI Research Center at Samsung Medical Center, highlights the necessity of “lifelog” data assembled by wearable devices for a better understanding of the patient’s medical history. According to him, the future of AI is to extract this information straight from the user’s daily life and offer a better understanding of their health status.
A cardiologist, Dr. Blum, states that it will be better to continue health monitoring through smartwatches, which is key for early disease detection. He also highlights scenarios such as high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation where previous intervention is essential. He believes that smartwatches can offer valuable data for doctors to understand the root causes of the disease whereas AI helps to analyze this data and translate it into actionable insights for patients.
A diabetes specialist, Dr. Klonoff, punctuates the growing use of glucose monitoring, not only for diabetics but also for those pursuing a healthier lifestyle. He also considers it an essential as well as powerful tool when combined with other health data such as sleep, blood pressure, and activity. It is expected that this data, analyzed by wearables and AI, could offer a better understanding of overall metabolic health.
Recent reports reveal that the South Korean giant is also working on the implementation of wearable technologies capable of reading the glucose levels of its users. Apart from this, the giant is also deciding to develop non-invasive solutions for blood glucose monitoring, which would lead the company to get ahead of its long-time rival Apple in this area.
Samsung fans are eagerly waiting for the next Galaxy Unpacked event, which was previously supposed to be held in the second week of July. Now, finally, the exclusive date has been revealed for the event.

This much-awaited Galaxy Unpacked event will take place in Paris. It appears to be a great choice, as Paris will host the 2024 Summer Olympics after that month, and Samsung is one of the leading worldwide sponsors of the games.
Before any official announcement, the leaks and rumors have already revealed much more regarding the specs, features, and design of the forthcoming devices, according to which the brand could also introduce an extra variant of the Flip 6 under the name Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE. This time, the giant will also reveal more about its very first Galaxy Ring.
Apart from these devices, we can also expect the Galaxy Watch 7 and at least one new pair of wireless earbuds to be introduced at the event; however, regarding these devices, nothing has officially been cleared yet, but it will be interesting to be a part of the event.
