Certain Display Devices, Streaming Players, and Components Thereof; Inv. No. 337-TA-1496 (Violation)

This amended complaint by InnoTV Labs, LLC asks the Commission to find a Section 337 violation by Hisense and Roku entities over six asserted patents (the '918, '066, '863, RE50,251, '306 and '636 patents), accusing smart TVs, LED TVs, streaming devices and components. It seeks a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders; the document does not describe what changed from the original complaint. The complaint targets major TV and streaming-player makers, covering display UI features and TV backlight and frame structures. InnoTV, a patent licensing company, relies on licensee LG Electronics' U.S. activities for domestic industry. If instituted and a violation is found, a limited exclusion order could bar entry of the accused Hisense and Roku products. Complainant InnoTV Labs, LLC (Nevada patent management and licensing company) owns the asserted patents by assignment from LG Electronics and has licensed LG back. Proposed respondents are the Hisense group (Hisense Co., Hisense International, Hisense Visual Technology, Hisense USA, Hisense Electronics Manufacturing Company of America, Hisense Monterrey) and the Roku group (Roku, Inc. and three Purple Tag entities). Asserted patents are U.S. Patent Nos. 7,965,918; 12,096,066; 10,018,863; RE50,251; 11,714,306; and 12,038,636, with listed asserted claims; infringement is alleged literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, including inducement and, for Roku, contributory infringement of some patents. Accused products include Hisense models such as 55U8QG, 40A4NR and 50QD6QF, and Roku TVs and streaming devices such as 55R6C7, 40R3C5 and Streaming Stick Plus, with purchases in Maryland in 2025 and Mexico, China or Vietnam origin labels. Domestic industry is alleged through licensee LG Electronics and LGEUS under the economic prong (plant, equipment, labor and capital, estimated from LG financials) and the technical prong (LG TV models, with claim charts). Relief sought: a permanent limited exclusion order, permanent cease and desist orders, and a bond during the Presidential review period; parallel Texas district court actions are disclosed.
