3M and 3M Innovative Properties Co. filed a patent infringement
lawsuit in federal district court in Wilmington, Del., today
against Elo Touch Solutions Inc.
The suit alleges that certain Elo Touch projected capacitive
products infringe 3M’s U.S. Patents 8,179,381, 8,274,494, 8,704,799
and 9,823,786.
Metal mesh conductor technology is widely used in the
construction of projected capacitive touch sensors for consumer and
commercial applications. Metal mesh conductors have broad
applicability across touch sensors of all sizes, in particular,
large-format touch sensors often utilized in interactive
whiteboards, conferencing systems, casino gaming machines, digital
signage displays, and fast-food self-ordering systems.
“3M strives to provide its customers with the most innovative
materials and solutions for their products. The company is
committed to protecting its investments in research and development
for projected capacitive technology and vigorously defends its
intellectual property rights,” said Makoto Ishii, vice president
and general manager, 3M Display Materials and Systems Division.
