A U.S. trade panel that hears patent disputes said it would investigate allegations that Toyota Motor Corp. infringed patented technology to make its popular hybrid vehicles, Reuters reported.
The U.S. International Trade Commission said on Tuesday that Paice LLC, had asked it to order Japan’s Toyota to stop using the infringing technology to make the cars and to bar imports with the fuel-saving gasoline/electric technology, the story said. The suit is similar to one that Paice filed in a Texas court in April requiring Toyota to pay fees to Paice based on the number of cars sold, Reuters said.
Toyota has appealed that order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the report said. Toyota Motor North America and Toyota Motor Sales also were named in the suit, the story said. (Reuters)
