Part Number: CC2530
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2630,

Hello Ti friends:

Our products use your chip CC2530 as zigbee gateway and CC2630 as Zigbee sensor. The Zigbee stack or 802.15.4 mac is almost uses your sdk code implemention. 

But recently a company called  Sipco challenge us make use of their patents of US applied at 1999. They declare they have zigbee related patents and ask us for a lot of money.

They have push our company to court.

Could you help to get them away since we buy your chip and use your sdk.

Thanks. Very appreciate.

    Hi Aifei,

    While TI offers excellent patent indemnification under TI’s Terms of Sale to TI’s customers, TI does not provide an indemnity for standards-based patents. In general, TI does not comment on patents owned by a third party. TI cannot provide legal advice to you on this matter and suggests that you consult your legal counsel for questions or assistance.

    Regards,

    Katie

    I would suggest you to consult ZIgbee Alliance to check if Zigbee and 802.15.4 standard infringe the patent of this company.
