OUTCOME: Dismissed
Represented Masimo & Cercacor in complex litigation involving Dominion Assets asserting three patents regarding non-invasive blood analyte monitoring against Masimo’s Rainbow technology. The patents re ... sulted out of research to detect blood glucose levels in the 1980s. The research company then transferred the right and title for its technologies to a subsidiary in 1991. Between 1994 and 1995, the patent office issued the three patents-in-suit to the subsidiary. Dominion acquired all of the subsidiary’s intellectual property in 2006. Obtained dismissal of the suit for lack of standing at the time the complaint was filed. In 2010, Dominion had assigned the patents to Acacia – a known non-practicing entity. This deal assigned all of Dominion’s rights, title, and interest in patents, including those in suit, for Acacia to monetize them. Dominion sent a letter to Acacia in March 2012, seeking to terminate the agreement and claiming the company had not made any progress in monetizing the technology. Despite telling the court that Acacia agreed to the request, Dominion did not sign Acacia’s proposed termination language because of added terms. The parties did not execute a written termination agreement until April 2014.
