#Samsung sues #Dyson for patent infringement claim

Samsung is suing Dyson for 10 billion won (around $9.4 million) following claims from the British vacuum maker that a Samsung product looked like a "cynical rip-off" of its design. Dyson sued Samsung last year, accusing the company of infringing on its patented vacuum-steering system. That lawsuit was later dropped, but not before depicting Samsung as a repeat patent violator, the Korean company alleges.
