加拿大公司Mosaid Technologies Inc.在美國國際貿(mào)易委員會(ITC)起訴思科,指控思科侵犯其專利權(quán)。如果Mosaid起訴成功,思科可能被禁止在美國銷售和進口多種設(shè)備。
Mosaid (安大略省渥太華市)指控,思科(美國加州圣何塞市)在一些產(chǎn)品中侵犯了它的六項專利,這些產(chǎn)品包括以太網(wǎng)供電(PoE)交換機和路由器、DSL無線接入點、線纜調(diào)制解調(diào)器無線接入點、PoE互聯(lián)網(wǎng)協(xié)議(IP)電話和帶有網(wǎng)絡(luò)電話(VoIP)功能的線纜調(diào)制解調(diào)器。作為訴狀內(nèi)容的一部分,Mosaid要求ITC禁止在美國進口和銷售這些以及其它思科產(chǎn)品。
Mosaid總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官John Lindgren在一份聲明中表示:“我們向ITC提起這個訴訟,是因為我們相信,思科——這個PoE網(wǎng)絡(luò)與通訊產(chǎn)品領(lǐng)域中的全球市場領(lǐng)軍人物,正在沒有授權(quán)的情況下,侵犯Mosaid的PoE專利權(quán)?!?
Mosaid和思科在美國特拉華聯(lián)邦地方法院也有一起專利訴訟,涉及Mosaid的10個PoE專利。這個訴訟是由思科于2010年8月提起的。令人費解的是,Mosaid在ITC提出的訴訟所涉及的6項專利,也是特拉華案件內(nèi)容之一。

Mosaid seeks U.S. ban on Cisco products
Peter Clarke
LONDON – Canadian company Mosaid Technologies Inc. has filed a complaint against Cisco Systems Inc. with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) in Washington, D.C. alleging patent infringement. If Mosaid is successful in its complaint Cisco may be prevented from selling and importing a wide range of equipment types in the United States.
Mosaid (Ottawa, Ontario) claims that Cisco (San Jose, Calif.) has been infringing six of its patents in various products including Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches and routers, DSL wireless access points, cable modem wireless access points, PoE Internet Protocol (IP) phones, and cable modems with Voice over IP (VoIP). As part of its complaint Mosaid is requesting that the ITC ban the importation and sales of these and other Cisco products in the United States.
"We filed this complaint with the ITC because we believe that Cisco, the global market leader in PoE-enabled networking and communications products, is infringing Mosaid's PoE patents and requires a license," said John Lindgren, president and CEO of Mosaid, in a statement.
Mosaid and Cisco are involved in a patent litigation with respect to 10 of Mosaid's PoE patents in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The case was initiated by Cisco in August 2010. The six patents at issue in Mosaid's ITC complaint are also part of the Delaware case.
