Samsung has come out of a patent dispute that revolves around accelerometers with a favorable decision made by the courts. The dispute in question came from Wave Sense LLC which had alleged that Samsung was infringing on one of its patents pertaining to “digital signal processing techniques for identifying characteristics in sampled signals.” According to the report, both Samsung and Wave Sense have agreed to settle and filed a request for dismissal, which was granted.
The lawsuit was initially brought against Samsung back in 2024, but covered a broad range of the company’s phones dating back several years, with the oldest reportedly being the Galaxy S7. According to Wave Sense LLC, Samsung’s devices were using technology based on the patent that was used to process acceleration data that was generated by motion sensors. Of all included devices that Wave Sense LLC alleges had something to do with the infringement, there are reportedly a total of 10 devices. These are the Galaxy S7, the Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S9, Galaxy S10, Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy S20 5G, Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, and the first Galaxy Z Fold (Samsung is on its eighth iteration).
Samsung did not technically “win” this patent dispute case over accelerometers
Samsung didn’t technically win this case, but it’s not losing either. The outcome according to the report issued by The Biz states that the court has thrown out the case and dismissed it with prejudice. This is good for Samsung because it means the decision is final. Wave Sense LLC cannot file this same lawsuit or claim again. For Samsung’s part, this dispute over an accelerometers patent being infringed upon is over.
Wave Sense LLC was reportedly seeking monetary damages and potential royalties over Samsung’s alleged use of the patent technology. Instead, Wave Sense was awarded no damages and will receive no royalties. That being said, Samsung and Wave Sense LLC will still be required to cover their own legal fees from this case.
