6 cases as defendant.
Barco N.V. brought a declaratory judgment action on three MMP patents (specific patents not confirmed in the narrative). The case was related to and consolidated with the HTC and Acer/Gateway actions.
Declaratory judgment action filed December 1, 2008, by Barco N.V. against Technology Properties Ltd., Patriot Scientific Corp., and Alliacense Ltd. concerning the MMP portfolio. Various orders issued in 2010–2011, and the '584 patent was non-asserted via covenant. The narrative does not clearly identify the '915 patent as specifically asserted in this action.
HTC filed a declaratory-judgment action of invalidity/non-infringement as to the '336, '584, '749 and '148 patents. TPL counterclaimed for infringement of the '336, '749, '148 and '890 patents. After trial, the jury found HTC literally infringed claims 6, 7, 9, 13, 14 and 15 of the '336 patent with a $958,560 lump-sum royalty, not willful; JMOL denied and final judgment entered for TPL. Other patents were dismissed or carved out.
ASUSTeK brought a declaratory judgment action naming US 5,440,749, US 5,809,336, US 5,809,623, US 5,809,638, and US 5,784,584; the complaint was amended July 10 and September 23, 2008. The case settled December 18, 2008, and all claims were dismissed February 25, 2009.
HTC filed a declaratory judgment action against TPL, Patriot Scientific and Alliacense; the '890 patent was added by amended complaint on July 10, 2008. TPL counterclaimed for infringement of '336, '749, '148 and '890. On Sept. 19, 2013, all claims relating to the '890 patent were dismissed by stipulation; only the '336 patent reached the jury.
