Maier & Maier is pleased to report that we secured a victory for our client Firstbeat Technologies OY in a case involving a heart rate measuring apparatus incorporated into wearable technology. The case was originally filed by Polar Electro OY in the District of Delaware on November 7, 2011, but was eventually transferred to the District of Utah where we obtained a grant of summary judgement of invalidity on the basis of §101.
The Plaintiff then appealed the decision to the Federal Circuit where a three-judge panel upheld in full the District Courts grant of summary judgement, issuing a rule 36 affirmance in record time. See 2024-1801, Dkt. 38.
Maier & Maier continues to enjoy consistent and favorable results in its litigation matters. The firm has obtained favorable results when defending clients accused of infringement by competitors as well as cases brought by patent assertion entities.
