Acer sues AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile over patents
Acer has filed patent infringement lawsuits against AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The company says the three carriers used technology covered by Acer patents without permission and is seeking financial compensation.
The complaints center on Acer's patent portfolio, though specific technologies and requested damages were not detailed in the initial announcement. The cases will test how much value a device maker can claim from network operators that rely on its intellectual property.
