On Friday, the parties filed a joint notice that the case captioned SiOnyx v. Apple had been resolved and that the case could be closed. Details of the settlement were not disclosed.
Apple and a silicon-based photonics company in Boston have settled a patent dispute that accused the tech giant of wrongfully using low-light imaging sensors in the iPhone 15, according to recent filings by the parties.
On Friday, SiOnyx and Apple informed U.S. District Judge Julia E. Kobick of the District of Massachusetts that they had reached an agreement in a dispute over three imaging patents relating to low-light imaging. SiOnyx, a developer and manufacturer of ultra-low-light complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor image sensors, accused Apple of using the patented technology in a Sony-manufactured sensor in the Apple iPhone 15. Apple disputed the allegations and subsequently filed a petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board to review the patents at issue.
