Canon Inc. has announced it filed an appeal on May 15, 2007, for its ongoing patent litigation with Nano-Proprietary, Inc. concerning SED panel technologies. Canon appealed against the verdict in the first hearing ruled by the US District Court for the State of Texas on May 4, 2007.

In the first hearing, the Court ruled Canon had breached the SED panel patent license agreement and therefore Nano-Proprietary has a right to terminate the agreement. Canon has been licensed patents owned by Nano-Proprietary. However, since Canon formed a joint company "SED Inc." with Toshiba Corp. in 2004, Nano-Proprietary has been in dispute with Canon, claiming for "a cancellation of the current licensing agreement."
