A technology company is taking aim at Toyota, saying that the company’s gas-electric hybrid Prius and Highlander vehicles infringe on its U.S. patents. Solomon Technologies, Inc. announced today that it has expanded its litigation against Toyota by filing a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) in Washington D.C. If Solomon were successful in its ITC action, Toyota could be prohibited from importing into the United States infringing combination motor and transmission systems and those products containing such systems, including the Toyota Prius and Highlander models.

Interesting… Ford paid Toyota a license fee after determining that its hybrid system was probably similar enough to Toyota’s to violate Toyota’s patents.
