Maier & Maier 在国际贸易委员会获得胜诉

2024 年 4 月 22 日- Maier & Maier PLLC 欣然报告,我们的被告客户 Hikam America, Inc.、Hikam Electrónica de México, S.A. de C.V.、Hikam Tecnologia de Sinaloa、Hewtech Philippines Corp.、Hewtech Philippines Electronics Corp., 以及 Hewtech (Shenzhen) Electronics Co., Ltd. 已被国际贸易委员会调查(编号 337-TA-1365 )撤诉。

在这次 ITC 调查中,Shoals Technologies Group, LLC (“Shoals”) 指控我们代理的六个客户侵权美国专利 10,553,739(“739 专利”),该专利涵盖用于太阳能装置的模制保险丝。

2024 年 3 月 6 日,主审行政法官ALJ发布了初步裁定(20 号令),根据委员会规则 210.18(b)(19 CFR 210.18(b) 批准了被告的简易判决动议。初步裁定认为,根据正确的权利要求解释,Shoals 未能证明在”739 专利”是否符合国内产业要求的技术要件方面存在任何实质性事实争议。

2024 年 3 月 13 日,Shoals 提交了对初步裁定的复审请求。2024 年 3 月 26 日,被告和 OUII 分别提交了针对 Shoals 复审请求的回应。

2024 年 4 月 19 日,委员会决定不复审初步裁定。由于Shoals没有满足国内行业对739专利的技术要求,现终止对739专利的调查,裁定无侵权行为。

Maier & Maier 在其诉讼业务中持续获得稳定且有利的结果。我公司在代理被竞争对手指控侵权的客户辩护,以及应对专利主张实体起诉的案件中均取得了有利结果。此次胜利是继本月初在地区法院案件中获得的另一项有利裁决。

Maier & Maier Defends Electric Mirror, Inc. In A Case Filed by Aperture Net LLC In the Western District of Washington

Maier & Maier continues to enjoy consistent and favorable results in its litigation matters. On November 1, 2022, Aperture Net LLC filed a lawsuit accusing Electric Mirror, Inc. of infringing U.S. Patent No. 6,711,204, which purportedly covers connections between base stations and WiFi access points. The suit was filed in the Western District of Washington (2:22-cv-01548), and accused Electric Mirror’s Savvy Smart Mirror of infringement.

The case was dismissed with prejudice on March 9, 2023 (Dkt. 21). The Electric Mirror dismissal follows two others in which Maier & Maier has helped defendants obtain early dismissals, including Altus Partners, Inc. v. Altus Market Access, Inc. (EDCA) and Wave Linx LLC v. MeetingOne.com, Corp. (D.Colo.). The dismissal also comes on the heels of Maier & Maier successfully obtaining a stay on behalf of defendants in a patent infringement lawsuit between E9 Treatments, Inc. v. Kopman LLC et al. in the Southern District of Texas.
