There will be another court clash of giants. This time, LG considers the accusation Samsung of patent infringement related to the visual support of a smartphone.
More specifically, LG is accusing Samsung of infringing a patent relating to eye-tracking technology. A patent for the Smart Video feature of the LG Optimus G Pro, which automatically pauses a video when the user looks away from the device, may have been infringed by a similar feature called Smart Pause in the Samsungu Galaxy S4. And here lies the problem: LG requested for a patent on the method for controlling the phone as early as 2009. Now, the company will consider whether to sue Samsung when SGS4 comes on the market and will be tested for violations. Samsung denies infringement, claiming to use its own methodology.
