Caihong Secures Decisive Victory at ITC
Washington, DC, – April 24, 2026 – A Cooley team secured a decisive victory for its client Caihong Display Devic (Caihong), a leading manufacturer of liquid-crystal display (LCD) glass used in the manufacture of televisions, in a high-stakes competitor-versus-competitor dispute before the US International Trade Commission (ITC).
Caihong and its customers were sued in the ITC by competitor Corning for infringing two patents impacting the global LCD market. Corning accused Caihong of selling the 615 glass and the 616 glass to its customers, and the primary dispute was whether the 616 glass infringed and could continue to be imported into the US.
On April 8, Administrative Law Judge Bryan Moore issued an initial determination that the 616 glass did not infringe Corning’s patents, allowing Caihong’s customers to continue importing and selling televisions containing that glass. Corning is not petitioning the decision to the full ITC.
The Cooley intellectual property litigation team representing Caihong was led by Stephen Smith, alongside Matthew Brigham, Adam Pivovar, Sam Whitt, Cole Merritt, and Matthew Ritter.
The case is Certain Glass Substrates for Liquid Crystal Displays, Products Containing the Same, and Methods for Manufacturing the Same II (Case No. 337-TA-1441).
