Marathon Patent Group Announces Jury Verdict in TPMS Case v. Schrader-Bridgeport
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/11/15 -- (NASDAQ: MARA) ("Marathon"), a patent licensing company, announced today that on June 11, 2015, a jury ruled in the matter Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations LLC v. Schrader-Bridgeport in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.
On May 2, 2013, Schrader-Bridgeport International Inc. was sued by Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations LLC for patent infringement in Delaware District Court, case number 1:13-cv-00763. Marathon has advised the plaintiff and provided substantially all of the financing of this litigation.
Marathon Patent Group's wholly owned subsidiary, IP Liquidity, owns contract rights to the revenue associated with the outcome of this case.
On June 11, 2015, an eight-person jury ruled that the asserted patents, while valid, were not infringed by the defendant.
Doug Croxall, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Marathon, stated, "We are clearly disappointed by the jury's ruling. It is a decision Bridgestone will promptly appeal as we believe the jury erred in their verdict. This outcome has no bearing on our German case and we remain confident in the validity and infringement of our European patent."
"Since there always exists the potential for an adverse ruling in an individual case, Marathon has invested in a diversified portfolio consisting of 413 patents across 19 different subsidiaries, 12 of which are in active litigation with approximately 50 defendants."
Croxall continued, "We built our model predicated upon diversification of assets. Today, we see the true underlying value of that model. While disappointed, the case represents only one of many. We continue to have an extremely busy calendar of both Markman hearings and trials going forward."
