ITC Terminates Another TV Integrated Circuit Patent Investigation

The International Trade Commission ended its Section 337 patent investigation of certain integrated circuits, chipsets, and products containing same including televisions (337-TA-822), because all parties agreed to termination. A previous ITC patent investigation of integrated circuits, chipsets, and products containing same (337-TA-786) had found a patent claim asserted by Freescale to be invalid due to obviousness. Because Freescale’s case in this investigation was also based on that patent claim, the company agreed to termination when it was requested by the respondents.
