Company profile

I'll research this entity before writing the profile.

Let me verify the individual's current affiliations.

Note on entity type: "Mudassar Rathore" (also styled Mudassar A. Rathore) is an individual executive, not a corporate entity. Consequently no ticker, revenue, headcount, or parent-ownership data applies. He is a Pakistan-based dental/orthodontic industry executive whose own company biography (adamispk.com, Adam Intellect Solutions) lists him as CEO of Adam Intellect Solutions, former CEO of Straumann Digital Planning Services, co-founder of ClearCorrect Pakistan (Private), Ltd. and of ClearPath Orthodontics, former Country Head of OrthoClear, and former Director of Diagnostic Operations at Align Technology. These affiliations are self-reported; independent corroboration exists for most via court records, but I could not verify Adam Intellect Solutions' products or any revenue/headcount figures.

Operations: The businesses he is associated with perform digital treatment planning for clear orthodontic aligners — converting scanned dentition into digital data sets and staged treatment plans used to manufacture sequential aligner trays. ClearCorrect Pakistan was the Lahore-based planning arm of ClearCorrect Operating, LLC (Houston), which the Straumann Group later acquired. No product line can be attributed to Rathore personally.

Litigation posture: All five tracked matters are as a defendant; zero as plaintiff. This is the profile of an individual respondent in trade-related enforcement litigation, not a patent assertion entity and not an operating company plaintiff. All five cases arise from a single, closely related dispute cluster rather than an ongoing assertion campaign.

Notable cases: On March 1, 2012, Align Technology filed two ITC complaints against ClearCorrect entities and named former OrthoClear officers/managers, including Rathore: an infringement complaint (Inv. No. 337-TA-833) and an enforcement complaint under 19 C.F.R. § 210.75 alleging violation of the 2006 OrthoClear consent order. The Commission instituted the enforcement investigation naming Rathore among six respondents (77 Fed. Reg. 25747, May 1, 2012). The Commission initially held the accused digital data sets fell outside the consent order's scope; the Federal Circuit reversed and remanded (Align Technology, Inc. v. ITC, 771 F.3d 1317 (Fed. Cir. 2014)). A separate appeal arose from 337-TA-833. In April 2015, Align and respondents — Rathore a named party — reached a termination agreement resolving the remanded enforcement proceeding, contingent on the outcome of the '833 appellate proceedings.

Align brought an ITC enforcement proceeding under 19 C.F.R. § 210.75 to enforce the 337-TA-562 Consent Order against ClearCorrect Operating, LLC, ClearCorrect Pakistan (Private), Ltd., and four individuals. The ITC found a violation of the consent order, leading to Federal Circuit appeals.

Align Technology filed an enforcement proceeding against ClearCorrect and its officers to enforce the 2006 Consent Order from Inv. No. 337-TA-562. The action was directed at the '511 and '880 patents specifically, but the Consent Order included the '070 patent. The Commission ultimately found no violation and terminated the proceeding, rescinding cease-and-desist orders.

resolved by termination agreement
Docket:
337-TA-562 (Enforcement)
Filed:

Terminated:

Align filed an enforcement proceeding under 19 C.F.R. § 210.75 alleging ClearCorrect and bound officers violated the 2006 consent order. The '880 and '511 patents were the basis for the enforcement complaint; the Commission found no violation, Align appealed, and the matter was resolved by an April 7, 2015 termination agreement.

vacated and remanded
Docket:

Patents:6227850

Align appealed from the ITC enforcement proceeding relating to the 2006 consent order that included U.S. Patent No. 6,227,850. The Federal Circuit vacated and remanded, holding the ITC exceeded its authority in reviewing the ALJ's order denying termination and remanding for trial on whether former OrthoClear employees violated the Consent Order.

Align Technology, Inc. v. International Trade Commission et al.

reversed and remanded
Docket:
2013-1240, 2013-1363
Terminated:
2014-07-18

Appeal from the ITC's ClearCorrect enforcement proceeding. The Federal Circuit reversed and remanded on procedural grounds, holding the ITC exceeded its authority by reviewing an ALJ's order denying a motion to terminate. The narrative treats the '840 patent connection as family-level and unconfirmed; the enforcement dispute is described as involving the 2006 Consent Order and the '880 and '511 patents.
