Ford Motors sued for Patent Infringement

US automobile giant Ford motors has been sued for multiple patent infringements by Washigton based Eagle Harbor Holdings, LLC and its subsidiary and exclusive licensee, MediusTech. The patents relate to several automotive technologies such as SYNC, Active Park Assist, Blind-Spot Identification System with Cross Traffic Alert, Integrated Control System for Stability Control, and MyKey.


The patent rights over these technologies are held by Harbor Holdings and are alleged to have been used in Ford, Mercury and Lincoln vehicles without due authorisation. Ford is said to have made several rounds of negotiations starting from 2002 in order to use the technologies in question in their vehicles. Negotiations had broken down after parties failed agree on certain terms.
