Cree Inc., a maker of semiconductor products and light-emitting diodes, said Monday it filed a patent infringement lawsuit against BridgeLux Inc., seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief to prohibit further infringement. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, and deals with patents related to light extraction structures used in light-emitting diodes and semiconductor devices made using a gallium nitride-based buffer technology. One of the patents is owned by Boston University which licensed it to Cree on an exclusive basis. Boston University is a co-plaintiff in the suit.
