Kyocera Corporation (NYSE:KYO)(TOKYO:6971) filed a complaint in
the Regional Court of Dusseldorf, Germany on April 5 (Central
European Time) against Preh GmbH, a Germany-based automotive
supplier. Kyocera is of the opinion that Preh infringes a Kyocera
patent relating to its haptic feedback technology (German part of
EP 2 461 233 B1).
Kyocera has been creating haptic technologies through its own
research and development since 2008. Utilizing ergonomics and
virtual reality technology that Kyocera has developed over the
years as well as its proprietary haptic feedback technology,
Kyocera’s HAPTIVITY® technology contains a virtual reality
innovation that enables real touch sensation on any human-machine
interface. Kyocera has introduced its HAPTIVITY® devices in
Japanese, U.S. and European tradeshows, and holds patents on this
technology in multiple countries.
Although Kyocera has offered on several occasions to license its
patented technology to Preh for use in the “All-in-Touch”
multimedia interface that Preh manufactures and provides for
automobiles, licensing negotiations have been unsuccessful to date.
Therefore, Kyocera felt obliged to file a complaint.
Kyocera continues to license its technology for use in a wide
range of applications, including automotive and industrial devices.
The Company will aim to refine its HAPTIVITY® technology as well as
develop and market devices using this innovation.
“HAPTIVITY®” is a registered trademark of Kyocera
Corporation.
