In response to a lawsuit filed in April by Hitachi, LG Electronics has filed a countersuit claiming Hitachi is infringing on their plasma display panel patents. The two electronics giants have been working on a licensing agreement since 2005, but seem to have a fundamental difference of opinion over what is covered by each company's patents.
Jeong Hwan Lee, executive vice president and head of the LG Electronics intellectual property center, vowed to "uncompromisingly protect" LG's intellectual property and blamed competition in the global display market for the number of lawsuits that have cropped up in the industry.
