Samsung’s LED Devices Get Involved in Boston University’s Patent Infringement Lawsuit

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has gotten involved in a patent infringement with Boston University in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
 
Boston University alleges that Samsung “regularly and deliberately” infringed upon the BU-owned patents, Patent Nos. 5,686,738 and 6,953,703. The complaint alleges that the infringement occurred when it imported and sold LED devices that were manufactured by preparing highly insulating monocrystalline gallium nitride single crystal films in a molecular beam growth chamber. The complaint also alleges that Samsung violated its patents for making a semiconductor device with exposure of sapphire substrate to activated nitrogen.

The complaint further asserts that the semiconductor devices were not materially changed by subsequent processes and did not become a nonessential part of another product and therefore Samsung violated federal patent laws through its manufacture and sale of the LED devices. BU's trustees are seeking compensation from Samsung which accounts for the profits made through the alleged patent infringements.
