Top Chinese display panel manufacturer BOE Technology Group has slapped rival Samsung Electronics with a series of patent-infringement lawsuits, ratcheting up the intellectual property dispute between the two major Apple suppliers ahead of the launch of new iPhones later this year.
Beijing-based BOE and two of its subsidiaries recently filed six lawsuits against the South Korean tech conglomerate and its five Chinese entities – mostly display panel and semiconductor companies – at the Chongqing No 1 Intermediate People’s Court in southwestern China, according to company records tracked by business data provider Qichacha.
