Mitsubishi Electric Corp. has filed a lawsuit against South Korea‘s LG Electronics Inc. over an alleged infringement of the Japanese company’s 3G mobile communication system patent.
Mitsubishi said it filed the lawsuit at the Tokyo District Court on Dec. 27 and the first hearing at the court took place on Monday.
Kyodo News reported that the Japanese electronics maker is seeking the suspension of imports of LG‘s mobile handsets using the technology in question, while also demanding 380 million yen in damages.
An LG spokeswoman said that the company has received Mitsubishi’s complaint, but declined to give details about the lawsuit.
“We are currently reviewing the patented technology that Mitsubishi is insisting. LG will take an appropriate action after reviewing the results,” she was quoted by the Wall Street Journal as saying.
