The complaint seeks an exclusion order and a cease and desist order barring the importation, sale for importation, or sale after importation of products from Bosch, Samsung and Sony that contain software features and functions which infringe certain ObjectVideo patents.
In April, ObjectVideo filed a patent complaint against Bosch, Samsung and Sony in the United States District Court of Virginia. Read about that here.
And at IFSEC this year, the company announced a patent license agreement with Mirasys, allowing it to use ObjectVideo’s patented Video Content Analysis technology. Read the story here.
Bill Marino, chief intellectual property officer for ObjectVideo, said: “The ITC process enables small companies like ObjectVideo to have patent infringement cases investigated within a relatively short period.
“This effectively helps level the playing field with larger companies who infringe patents, and allows us to continue to bring innovative technologies to the marketplace.”
ObjectVideo is represented by Martin R. Lueck and J. Scott Culpepper of the law firm of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi LLP.
To date, ObjectVideo holds 41 United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and International patents, along with 43 USPTO and International patents pending, all in the field of computer vision.
