In 2018, DisputeSoft was engaged as a software expert by the defendant in the matter of Philips v. HTC, a patent infringement dispute between smartphone manufacturers.
Plaintiff Philips owned multiple patents relating to touch screen functionality, including patents for keyboard virtualization and screen magnification. Philips alleged that HTC’s smartphone products infringed upon these touch screen patents. DisputeSoft reviewed and traced HTC’s source code and drafted detailed code review summaries, which ultimately supported HTC’s contention of non‑infringement.
