3M and 3M Innovative Properties Co. have settled a patent
infringement lawsuit brought by 3M in federal district court in Las
Vegas, Nev., against South Korea-based Tovis Co. Ltd. and its
subsidiary Tovis North America, and Scientific Games Corp. Terms of
the settlement were not disclosed.
The suit alleged that certain Tovis touch display products which
are used by Scientific Games in its gaming machines infringed 3M’s
U.S. Patents 8,179,381; 9,823,786; 8,274,494; 8,704,799;
10,078,408; 10,101,868; 10,114,516; and 10,126,901.
Metal mesh conductor technology is widely used in the
construction of projected capacitive touch sensors for consumer and
commercial applications. Metal mesh conductors have broad
applicability across touch sensors of all sizes. In particular,
large format touch sensors are often used in interactive
whiteboards, conferencing systems, and digital signage
displays.
Earlier this year, 3M settled a similar patent infringement
lawsuit against Elo Touch Solutions Inc.
“3M is encouraged to have been able to settle this matter. 3M
invests substantially in research and development to create
innovative products for our customers,” said Makoto Ishii, vice
president and general manager, 3M Display Materials and Systems
Division. “We will continue to defend our intellectual property to
protect those investments against unauthorized use and infringement
by metal mesh manufacturers, touch panel integrators, and original
equipment manufacturers.”
