Harvard University filed a Patent Infringement lawsuit in federal court in Texas against Samsung, alleging that the company’s methods for manufacturing microprocessors and memory products infringe on two patents related to inventions by Harvard chemistry professor Roy Gordon.
The lawsuit claims that Samsung’s processes use patented techniques for depositing thin films containing cobalt or tungsten metals, which are crucial for many electronic devices like computers and smartphones. Harvard seeks unspecified monetary damages and a court order to prevent Samsung from further patent infringement.
Samsung representatives did not immediately comment on the complaint, and a Harvard spokesperson declined to provide a statement. The case is filed as President and Fellows of Harvard College v. Samsung Electronics Co, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, No. 2:24-cv-00636.
