Huawei accused of infringing Omnitek’s patented smartwatch technology

2023/08/09

Huawei Technologies USA Inc. has been accused by New York-based Omnitek Partners LLC of copying a key technology that lets smartwatches’ internal components communicate with each other, according to news on August 8.

In a patent infringement complaint filed last Friday in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas’s Dallas division, Omnitek Partners LLC alleged that Huawei’s smart watches incorporate ideas covered by US Patent No. 7,272,293 (hereinafter referred to as ’293 Patent). 

Omnitek said that patent was issued in late 2007, from an application filed in 2003, and discloses an electronic device with a communication bus as a portion of a casing. 

Huawei “is not licensed to the ’293 Patent in either an expressed or implied manner”, Omnitek says in the complaint.

Omnitek is seeking reasonable royalties, an award of treble damages for willful infringement, and other relevant fees for compensation.
