However, as we all know, there are many SUVs that provide all-terrain technology, not just Land Rover SUVs. Now Land Rover is dissatisfied with this, so it filed a lawsuit in the United States, demanding that the United States ban the sale of other brands of SUVs that use this technology, such as Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi and Volkswagen.
In the document submitted by Jaguar Land Rover to the US International Trade Commission, it is pointed out that the all-terrain feedback adaptive system is a key function discovered by Jaguar F-Pace and Land Rover, and these brands under the Volkswagen Group have developed similar technologies without their permission, infringing their patents. So I hope that the United States can stop importing the following models, including Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q8, Q7, Q5 and A6? Allroad and e-tron and Volkswagen Tiguan.
Jaguar Land Rover believes that even if these models are banned from being sold in the United States, there are many other SUV models available for sale under the above brands, which will not affect the purchase of American consumers. However, for these brands, the listed models are precisely the key models with the highest profit, and the Volkswagen Group will naturally disagree.
The United States International Trade Commission is an independent quasi-judicial institution, which is responsible for investigating lawsuits related to unfair trade practices such as patent infringement. It cannot judge the defendant to compensate the plaintiff for economic losses, but it has the right to prohibit certain products from entering the United States for sale. Moreover, it is very efficient, and the general investigation can be completed within 15- 18 months.
However, Jaguar Land Rover not only banned sales, but also filed other patent lawsuits against these brands in federal courts in Delaware and New Jersey, seeking cash compensation.
All-terrain technology is indeed a very common function in SUVs with off-road requirements. It is estimated that many other car companies are concerned about whether Jaguar Land Rover's prosecution will work.
