Samsung sued by the ‘original developer of foldable phones,’ but a ban seems unlikely

Lepton Computing has sued Samsung in Texas over nine alleged foldable-phone patent infringements.

The patents reportedly cover display protection, hardware design, sensors, and app continuity features.

Lepton is seeking damages and a permanent injunction that could block Samsung’s foldables in the US.

However, observers think a settlement or dismissal is more likely than an outright sales ban.
