IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TP-Link®, a leading global provider of consumer and business networking products, today addressed the Initial Determination issued on May 30, 2024 by the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) concerning Netgear’s allegation of patent infringement. TP-Link is thoroughly reviewing the Initial Determination and exploring potential next steps.
Jeff Barney, COO, TP-Link USA Corp., said, “We are disappointed with the Administrative Law Judge’s overbroad interpretation of the patent at issue. As an innovative company that develops and manufactures devices using our patented technologies as the backbone for our consumer products, TP-Link respects intellectual property rights. We have been providing U.S. customers with valuable, affordable and top performing networking solutions for decades. As this case progresses, we will consider all our options to protect our innovations, products and global business.”
TP-Link will promptly begin the process of challenging the ALJ’s Initial Determination by seeking Commission review at the ITC. This process is expected to continue through Fall of 2024.

Netgear tried getting money for more patents previously, but failed:

And this is the one still in question:

Seems like Netgear is losing the market game lately and started playing lawyer games.

Asus has eaten away at their market share through carpet bombing of store shelves with new SKUs with aggressive features, while TP-Link has been eating away at Netgear's market share through better pricing.

As most of the RF side of things comes from the SoC manufacturer, I doubt there is much that was truly unique done by Netgear there.

Indeed. Most consumer AIO routers stay close to reference design with features up to whatever the SoC can do. Netgear has to prepare a lot of cash to fight with all Qualcomm, Broadcom, MediaTek... used in their own products as well. Cutting the branch you are sitting on?
