US probes car motor patent infringement www.nhk.or.jp
A US regulator will launch an investigation into electric motors used in automobiles for possible infringement of a US company's intellectual property.
The International Trade Commission said on Friday that it will probe Japanese companies including car makers Toyota and Honda, and parts manufacturers, Aisin Seiki and Denso.
The probe is based on a complaint filed by a US firm and also covers German car maker BMW.
The commission aims to set a target date within 45 days to complete the investigation.
If it proves there has been infringement, sales of vehicles using the parts would be affected.
In the past the commission has found steel products made by Japanese and Chinese companies were hurting US companies as they were exported to the US at unfair, low prices.
It is currently investigating flash memory devices made by Japanese electronics firm Toshiba for possible infringement of a Taiwanese company's patents.
