Go Cornell
It’s pronounced colonel
The Ithaca, N.Y., university said … that AT&T and Verizon’s smartphones, routers and other products violate its patent rights in technology for improving the efficiency and signal strength of Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
…
The lawsuits said two Cornell engineering professors invented the technology described in the two patents, related to Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 wireless standards. Cornell received the patents in 2010 and 2011.
Cornell said that the companies infringe its patents by making and selling Wi-Fi-enabled devices that use the same wireless technology.
I’m confused, shouldn’t they be suing manufacturers? Or are there OEM products that ATT and Verizon are both selling just relabeled which are the products the lawsuit is about?
probably because the manufacturers are in china, which doesnt give a flying fuck about patents. but at&t and verizon are the big money in jurisdiction. this will most likely never go to court.
I don’t think you are allowed to sell patent infringing products, even if you didn’t make them. The manufacturers may not be in the US so going after them could be more complex. I believe patents restrict rights to make, use, or sell.
