Huidian Technology sued aegis shares for infringement of its fingerprint identification patent and claimed 50.5 million yuan!

7Month15day,Shenzhen Huiling Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to“Huiling Technology”) issued an announcement on its website stating that the Beijing Intellectual Property Court officially filed a case to accept Huiling Technology's lawsuit against Aegis Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to“aegis shares”) Cases of patent infringement disputes. The patent involved is an important patent for the optical fingerprint chip technology under the screen of Huiding Technology. Huiding Technology sued the court to order the defendant to immediately stop the infringement, destroy the infringing products, and compensate Huiding Technology for the corresponding losses totaling RMB.5050million, and assume other legal liability arising from the infringement.

Huiting Technology is a total application solution provider based on chip design and software development, and is the most widely used biometric solution provider in the Android camp. At present, it mainly provides leading semiconductor software and hardware solutions for the Internet of Things, intelligent terminals and automotive electronics. Products and solutions have been widely used in Huawei,OPPO,vivo, millet, one plus,Google,Amazon,SamsungSuch as international and domestic well-known brands. Huiting TechnologyInsist that each year will be no less10%of revenue invested in research and development, in2018Year, this proportion is reached.22.5%.So far, Huiming Technology has applied1129patents, of which patent applications for inventions are total.963pieces, authorization187The main layout is in China, India, Europe and South Korea.

Aegis is a major sensor supplier of fingerprint biometric and data encryption systems, specializing in integrated turnkey solutions designed to focus on sensor performance and software availability. EgisTecThe turnkey solution has been sold with more than 30 million personal computers and mobile products worldwide and is distributed in more than 20 languages.

It is understood that the patent involved in this case is a utility model patent, and the patent name isUnder-screen biometric identification devices, biometric identification components and terminal equipment, the patent number isZL201820937410.2, the grant date of the patent is2018Year10Year30The patent mainly relatesUnder-screen optical fingerprint technology, relativeultrasonic fingerprint identificationTechnologyIts anti-interference performance is stronger, and the effect is better in extreme cases. At the same time, the thickness of glass that it can penetrate isMoreIt is also considered to be one of the relatively mature solutions on the market..Under-screen optical fingerprint technology has been widely used in mainstream smartphone brands.52The model is commercially available on a medium scale, making it the most popular biometric solution in the full-screen era.

Huiding Technology claims that itsPioneering invention of under-screen optical fingerprint technologyIt is not clear which product infringes its utility model patent right.
