Litigation posture. In the tracked data Latecoere appears once, as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case) — the profile of an operating company defending against a patent-assertion suit rather than an NPE asserting a portfolio.

Notable case. The sole tracked matter is Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Latecoere SA, filed in the District of Delaware. Cedar Lane Technologies is a Canada-based non-practicing entity (classified as an NPE/PAE by Unified Patents and Stanford's NPE database) that asserts acquired patents, many originating from Intellectual Ventures, and has filed hundreds of suits, predominantly in the Western/Eastern Districts of Texas and D. Del., with the large majority resolved by settlement. The judicial account of the suit's merits is not characterized here.
