Audio giant Bose Corp. has sued luxury headphone maker Beats Electronics for allegedly infringing on its patented noise-canceling technology in its headphones.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court and in a complaint to the U.S. International Trade Commission, the Framingham-based Bose says technology protected by patents is being used by Beats in its "Studio" line of headphones.
"We are committed to protecting our investment, protecting our customers and defending the patents we own," Bose said in a statement, while saying the company does not comment specifically on ongoing litigation. "For over 30 years, Bose has made significant investments in the research, development, engineering and design of the proprietary technologies found in our headphones.
Bose is asking for the ITC to bar the import and sale of the headphones in the U.S., and is asking for "damages sufficient to compensate Bose for Beats' infringement."
Bose says Beats Studio and Beats Studio Wireless headphones use a type of noise-canceling technology that uses sound waves to counteract and eliminate unwanted noise.
Bose has filed patent suits in the past, including one in February against Monster Cable Products to block imports of its iSport Intensity earbuds.
Beats has become known for its bright, trendy headphones, while Bose has seen success with its more conservative headphones often used by frequent flyers.
In May, Apple announced that it would buy Beats for $3 billion, its biggest ever acquisition. Beats did not respond to requests for comment.
