  • University accuses Samsung Galaxy products, others of infringing
  • Caltech won $1.1 billion verdict against Apple over Wi-Fi patents
  • School has also targeted Microsoft with similar claims

(Reuters) – The California Institute of Technology has made Samsung its latest target for allegedly infringing its Wi-Fi patents following its $1.1 billion win against Apple and Broadcom last year, according to a complaint filed in East Texas federal court Friday.

Caltech said in the new lawsuit that Samsung’s Galaxy phones, tablets, and watches use Wi-Fi chips that infringe five of its data-transmission patents, in addition to other Wi-Fi-enabled Samsung products including televisions and refrigerators.

Samsung didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did Caltech or its attorney Daniel Shih of Susman Godfrey.
