Garmin Faces Lawsuit over Patent Infringement in Smartwatch Technology

Garmin Ltd., a well-known seller of smartwatches, is currently facing a lawsuit that accuses them of infringing on patents related to wristwatch touchscreens and other watch technology. The lawsuit was filed by Slyde Analytics LLC, a non-practicing entity, in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. According to the complaint, Slyde owns nine patents that are in question.

Specifically, Garmin is accused of infringing on Patent 9,651,922, which involves a method for a wristwatch to detect fingers and interpret touch signals. Garmin is alleged to be making and selling smartwatches with a digital display that infringe on this patent. This lawsuit highlights the ongoing issue of patent infringement within the technology industry and will be closely watched by consumers who may want to make informed decisions about purchasing smartwatches in the future. It remains to be seen how Garmin will respond to these allegations and what the outcome of the lawsuit will be.
