Sharp is suing business partner Hisense, claiming the company is putting its name on low quality TVs.
Hisense can make TV sets using the Sharp name thanks to a deal it signed with the company in 2015.
Sharp said the TVs bearing its name broke US rules on electromagnetic emissions and that Hisense had made false claims about picture quality.
Hisense said it "categorically" denied the claims made in Sharp's court papers and it would defend itself.
Court argument
As well as accusing the Hisense-made TV sets of breaking emission guidelines, Sharp said the devices also broke Federal Trade Commission rules on pictures sizes and did not meet wider industry standards covering device safety.
Sharp's legal papers said its brand was at risk of being "destroyed" by the "shoddily manufactured" TV sets by the time the five-year deal ended.
It wants Hisense to stop using the Sharp name.
The legal action is believed to be linked to Sharp's efforts to rebuild itself after a long period of turmoil.
Sharp signed the deal with Hisense to raise cash when it was facing financial problems.
Soon after, Taiwanese electronics company Foxconn bought a controlling stake in Sharp and has injected cash into the business to re-invigorate it.

Sharp licensed it out to Hisense.

Sharp more recently sued Hisense China (aka Chinese military affiliated brand) for pushing out the lowest quality of TV monitors, forever killing off the Sharp quality brand name.

Sharp TV's are indeed rebranded Hisense, but considering the price that Sharp TV's tend to sell for, they are solid TV's for the price, so are Hisense TVs. They are around the same level as TCL sets/entry level Samsung/LG sets, which are a step above RCA/Sylvania/Haier/Proscan/Westinghouse (which are all poorer quality BOE panels with their name attached to them)
