Eldridge’s President and Vice President, Gary Leseman and Joe Davis, were recently in court again for the appeal in the lawsuit to defend their ENJET patent.
In November 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas ruled in Eldridge’s favor that the defendants had infringed our ENJET patent. The same court reaffirmed this ruling in September 2014. The defendants appealed the case to a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. in hopes the appellate court would overturn the previous rulings.
The Court of Appeals heard the argument on July 6, 2015. On July 17, 2015, the Court of Appeals affirmed the previous rulings in favor of Eldridge. Its decision was unanimous and was offered without further explanation, finding nothing noteworthy in the defendants’ arguments.
This latest victory for Eldridge reaffirms our decision to protect and defend our intellectual property. We are very happy with the Court of Appeals’ decision. Eldridge is proud to be represented by the exceptional trial attorneys at Yetter Coleman and patent prosecution attorneys at Sutton McAughan Deaver in Houston, Texas.
