ObjectVideo drops action against Samsung, continues litigation against Bosch, charging video analytic technologies infringement
Reston, Virginia-based ObjectVideo said yesterday that it was filing an unopposed motion to terminate Samsung from an ongoing United States International Trade Commission (USITC) investigation.
“Both parties agreed this was the appropriate next step as part of our continued efforts to resolve the dispute between the companies,” said Raul Fernandez, CEO of ObjectVideo.
The public trial against Bosch at the USITC, resulting from an investigation pertaining to products from Robert Bosch GmbH and Bosch Security Systems, Inc., continues as planned.
“With Samsung out of the ITC action, we can focus on Bosch, whose products implement numerous infringing video analytic technologies, including metadata, tripwire, and slip-and-fall technology,” added Fernandez. The patents in suit include United States patent numbers 6,696,945; 6,970,083; 7,613,324; 7,868,912; and 7,932,923.
The trial, held before the Honorable David P. Shaw, began yesterday, Wednesday, 18 July, at the USITC’s Washington, D.C. offices.
