Local time1October 20th 165438, according to Bloomberg News, Jaguar Land Rover filed an application with the US International Trade Commission, claiming that some models of Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi and Volkswagen used the technical patents of their all-terrain feedback adaptive systems without permission, requesting the United States to ban the import of the above models.
The models suspected of infringement include Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus, Audi Q8, Q7, Q5 and A6? Allroad and e-tron, and Volkswagen Tiguan.
Lawyers said that Jaguar Land Rover is seeking to protect itself and its business in the United States from infringement. "Some companies" used the patented technology developed by Jaguar Land Rover without permission and put related infringing products into the US market.
Jaguar Land Rover claims in the lawsuit that the ATF adaptive system can help the vehicle to exert its driving performance in different road conditions and terrains, which is the characteristic of Land Rover Discovery, Jaguar F-Pace and other models.
Jaguar Land Rover official website shows the terrain? Response? All-terrain feedback adaptive system is independently developed, which can adjust and optimize the engine, transmission and chassis system of the vehicle to the "optimal setting" according to the information provided by the driver under a given vehicle condition, so as to give full play to the driving performance, comfort and traction. This system can support ordinary driving, grass/gravel/snow, mud/rut, sand and other different road conditions.
The US International Trade Commission, which is responsible for investigating unfair trade practices, usually takes 15 to 18 months to complete the investigation, and has the right to prevent infringing products from entering the United States, but it cannot award damages.
As a supplement, Jaguar Land Rover sued Volkswagen for patent infringement in federal courts in Delaware and New Jersey, seeking cash compensation.
