Microsoft faces lawsuit over Lumia 950 and 950 XL’s LED technology

Thereport claims that earlier this week, a entity has sued Microsoft, the lawsuit is over the Lumia 950 & 950 XLs, the firm says that the flagship Windows Phones have the LED technology patented by them.

On Tuesday, Lemairenation Technologies LLC sued Microsogt claiming that the Washington-based company has infringed total three patents relating to LED technology, the entity filed the complaint in U.S. District Court in Marshall, Texas. Apparently, Microsoft hasn’t issued a statement about the patents infringement.
