Court affirms uCloudlink infringement of SIMO (Skyroam) patent


The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has granted a summary judgment of patent infringement claims of the holding company of Skyroam, Inc.(https://www.skyroam.com/), SIMO Holdings Inc. The Court found that products offered by UCloudLink Network Technology Limited America, brand-named GlocalMe, infringe on Skyroam's patent.

"This is an important victory for us," commented Jing Liu, Skyroam CEO. "The decision affirms what we believed all along - that UCloudlink has improperly infringed our valuable intellectual property rights."

SIMO's lawsuit alleges that UCloudLink infringes certain claims of US Patent 9,736,689 by selling its infringing WiFi (News - Alert) hotspot devices in the United States. The lawsuit alleges unauthorized use of patented technology, which is prohibited by law, and is intended to protect SIMO's significant investment in its innovative Virtual SIM (vSIM) technology. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and an injunction to prevent UCloudLink from selling any products in the United States that infringe SIMO's patent.
