Samsung Electronics has been sued by Tau Ceti in the US, with popular devices like the Galaxy S25 and Watch8 being named in the patent lawsuit.

It’s alleged that the world’s biggest display manufacturer has infringed on LED technology patents. The display panels are used in various products, including smartphones, smartwatches, laptops, and monitors.

According to THEBiz, Tau Ceti claimed in its US lawsuit that the displays used in Samsung’s mainstream product lines were manufactured by unauthorized use of 10 of its patents.

The LED tech belonging to the alleged patents was used in the display panels (or manufacturing) of screens used in Galaxy S25, Z Flip 7, Watch 8 smartwatch, Tab A9+ tablet, Book4 laptop, smart TVs, and the latest monitors.

Tau Ceti sued Samsung Electronics and its US subsidiary, Samsung Electronics America. The complainant sought damages for patent infringement.

The patents refer to the technologies that were designed to improve the performance of LED and MicroLED. It also covers a solution that increases the brightness without needing additional power, improving the battery life.

“Our technology enables brighter, lower-power, and longer-lasting LED and MicroLED displays,” Tau Ceti stated. “In particular, next-generation displays like MicroLED require the integration of millions of microscopic LED chips, making our patented technology essential for improving luminous efficiency and precision wiring,” the company added.

Tau Ceti has requested the court for a judgment of patent infringement, an order for damages, enhanced damages for willful infringement, and payment of litigation costs.

Patent lawsuits aren’t new for Samsung Electronics in the US. The company often faces such allegations, which are just claims until proven in front of judges. Samsung’s response is awaited, while Galaxy users are not affected.
