Lenovo sues Asus over multiple patent infringements

It looks like we are in for bloodbath in the tech world, as it has come to light that Lenovo is suing Asus over what they claim, are multiple patent infringements. Usually, these patent infringements are usually in one domain, but in this case, Lenovo claims that Asus has violated patents in hardware, software, and a host of there domains.

The Hong Kong based tech giant confirm its intent to the media, stating that this action was triggered by Asus’s cellular technologies filings fro August 2023. Back then, Lenovo had approached Asus with a cross-licensing deal, but now, it looks like things have taken a turn for the worse.

“We feel the time has come for us to assert our patent portfolio more actively – given its strength and our position and experience as both licensee and licensor – to achieve greater balance in licensing.”, Lenovo’s Deputy General Counsel and Chief Intellectual Property Officer, John Mulgrew said.

“While litigation is always Lenovo’s last resort, we do believe we need to protect our intellectual property while continuing to encourage transparency in licensing to enable ongoing investment in innovation and to ensure that customers around the world can benefit from the proliferation of affordable technology.”, he added.
