IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cosemi Technologies Inc., a global leader in innovative, high-speed connectivity solutions, announced that on October 28, 2020 it filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) naming Everpro Technologies Company Ltd. (“EverPro”), Fibbr Technologies (“Fibbr”), Logitech Inc. (“Logitech”), and Facebook Technologies, LLC (“Facebook”). The complaint alleges that these parties have engaged in unfair trade practices by producing and/or procuring and selling in the U.S., products that infringe one or more patents of Cosemi Technologies Inc. – including Patent Nos. 8,948,197; 9,641,250; 9,971,115; 9,979,479.
Founded in 2006, Cosemi was the first fabless optical component solutions provider in the industry, and currently a leading provider of hybrid active optical interconnect solutions for the video communications market. According to Dr. Nguyen X. Nguyen, Cosemi president and CEO, and OC entrepreneur since 2006, “We've spent years and millions of dollars in R&D which has culminated in a talented team and cutting-edge technology. Our efforts have resulted in over 60 patents, and we’ll take any steps necessary to ensure that foreign companies do not take advantage by simply copying and infringing on our intellectual property.”
Cosemi offers innovative products and technologies that enable optical connectivity through a hybrid active optical cable (AOC). AOCs are cables that interconnect devices to allow for high-speed audio and visual data applications. Cosemi designs and develops high-volume, high-performance, plug-and-play HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB AOCs that provide the performance and speed of fiber optics, along with the legacy support of control and power delivery over copper wire, in cost-effective hybrid cable assemblies. Cosemi’s patented hybrid AOCs connect 4K/8K displays to the source, video collaboration platforms to cameras, as well as many other applications like machine vision, AR/VR, and universal personal computing connectivity for enterprise and work-from-home applications
Through its complaint, Cosemi has requested the ITC to issue an exclusion order to bar importation of the infringing parties’ products and a cease and desist order to bar further sales and other domestic commercial activities of the infringing parties. Cosemi expects the ITC investigation to continue through 2021.
Cosemi, a California corporation, seeks the support of ITC to assist in protecting U.S. intellectual property and alleviate causing harm to their business from Everpro, a Chinese corporation, and its channels in the U.S. that include Logitech and Oculus, a subsidiary of Facebook.
