It’s not the first time Beats has been sued, either. A co-founder of
Beats recently sued the company, saying he was owed royalties.
His alleged concept? Take Beats’ headphones and tie them to
celebs for marketing purposed.
Beats also ran afoul of Mog , whom they snapped up to build their
music subscription services. Mog’s former CEO and founder
David Hyman filed suit for $20 million, claiming he was forced out
ahead of royalty payments coming due.
Patents held by Bose involved in the case read as a list of
everything that makes noise canceling tech possible. Dynamically
configurable ANR filter block topology, Digital high frequency phase
compensation, and Method and apparatus for minimizing latency in
digital signal processing systems all suggest Bose is owed a piece of
the pie.
Bose is seeking a sales ban internationally on Beats products.
The company said they’d also file a federal patent infringement
suit in Delaware. This is a developing story, but we’ll keep you up
to date as it unfolds.
