Epson is being sued in court for patent infringement by the wireless innovations company, Flexiworld Technologies
Flexiworld Technologies, Inc. filed their patent infringement complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Epson America, Inc. (Epson)
Flexiworld, founded by American scientist and inventor William Ho Chang, is an innovator engaged in research and development of technologies for wireless applications and embedded solutions in short-range wireless (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) and mobile device markets.
In its complaint, Flexiworld claims that Epson is infringing the following 14 United States patents:
- 7,609,402 (“the ’402 Patent”)
- 8,630,000 (“the ’000 Patent”)
- 9,036,181 (“the ’181 Patent”)

- 10,846,031 (“the ’031 Patent”)
- 10,873,856 (“the ’856 Patent”)
The Patents in question relate to wireless functions and the Epson App which allegedly infringe the Flexiworld-owned patents.
Flexiworld with its complaint demands jury trial and is asking for past and future damages “including for supplemental damages arising from any continuing post-verdict infringement for the time between trial and entry of the final judgment with an accounting, as needed, as provided by 35 U.S.C. § 284.”
