Avago Technologies sues Elan Microelectronics Corporation Taiwan
Avago Technologies asserts, after a review of an independent technical examination, that Elan sensors in optical mice that are imported to, exported from or distributed or sold in Taiwan infringe its patent number 207503 "Seeing Eye Mouse for a Computer System."
This filing in Taiwan is in addition to Avago's patent infringement claims against Elan in the U.S., and addresses alleged infringing sales beyond those involved in the U.S. case.
"Avago Technologies pioneered the development and commercialization of optical mouse sensor technology," said Kee Hane Ngoh, vice president and general manager of Avago Technologies' Navigation Products Division.
"Through our decades of Agilent/Hewlett-Packard roots, we have developed a wide variety of technologies fundamental to optical mouse sensors and optical mice. We are continuing to vigorously protect our investments in developing this innovative technology."
