Nidec Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit in Japan against LG Innotek, Korea
Nidec Corporation (“Nidec”, NYSE: NJ) today announced that it filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Osaka District Court on October 14, 2008 against LG Innotek Co., Ltd. (“LGIT”), Korea, alleging infringement of its Japanese Patent No. 3,502,266.
Japanese Patent No. 3,502,266 protects intellectual property related to Nidec’s proprietary technology for electric spindle motors used in CD/DVD drives.
Nidec has confirmed that certain disk drives currently sold in Japan use LGIT’s infringing electric spindle motors. The lawsuit seeks an injunction precluding LGIT from selling or distributing such motors in Japan.
On March 6, 2007, Nidec filed its first lawsuit against LGIT for infringement of its U.S. Patent No. 6,242,830, which is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
Nidec respects intellectual property rights of others and expects others to do likewise.
