As a tech company CEO, understanding patent litigation is crucial to safeguarding your innovations and ensuring long-term success. Patent litigation can be both a sword and a shield in the competitive tech landscape. Knowing when to enforce your patents against infringers can protect your market share and deter competitors. Conversely, being aware of potential litigation risks can prevent costly legal battles and financial losses. Engage with experienced patent attorneys early in your innovation process. They can help you build a robust patent portfolio that not only protects your core technologies but also anticipates and mitigates infringement risks. Regularly audit your intellectual property assets to identify vulnerabilities and opportunities for strategic improvements. Understand that patent litigation is not just about the law; it's also about strategy. Consider the business implications of pursuing or defending against litigation. Litigation can be expensive and time-consuming, so weigh the potential gains against the resources required. Stay informed about changes in patent laws and judicial trends. These can significantly impact your litigation strategy and overall IP management. An informed CEO can navigate the complexities of patent litigation more effectively, aligning legal strategies with business goals. #PatentLitigation #TechCEO #IntellectualProperty #InnovationProtection #PatentStrategy #BusinessLeadership

EncryptaWave has stepped up this week a patent litigation campaign, asserting a patent that previously belonged to MoxChange, an IP Edge entity. MoxChange sued 18 companies for infringing US Pat. No. 7,233,664, which describes a "dynamic authentication method and system for providing secure authentication amongst wireless communication network nodes." Those 18 cases mostly settled or dismissed early, though one in Delaware (then District Judge Stark) resulted in a claim construction ruling. Back in February, MoxChange assigned the '664 patent to EncryptaWave. That was three months after Judge Connolly (D. Del.) referred one of IP Edge's founders to disciplinary authorities following findings of fraud stemming from an investigation into how the patent monetization firm structured its cases. It's not clear from the assignment records and other publicly available information whether IP Edge or its principals have a stake in EncryptaWave, which lists itself in a series of new lawsuits as owned by Inferential Capital LLC. I emailed one of Inferential's managing directors who is listed on the assignment in the correspondence line to ask about the transfer. I was curious if it was a clean sale or whether IP Edge retained either a stake or some kind of role in the litigation efforts, because it seems to me that if the answer is the latter that could carry at least a modicum of risk/distraction. But it appears EncryptaWave/Inferential isn't ready or inclined to talk about the nature of the deal or its litigation campaign for the moment. Though the Inferential managing director glanced at my LinkedIn page a few days after my email, I never did get a response. As for the new EncryptaWave suits--four new suits (Honeywell, Hitron, Minolta, HMD Global) to add to three filed in March--it and D-Link Corp. (maker of an allegedly infringing WiFi access point product, repped by Pillsbury) announced a joint settlement yesterday (4:24-cv-00257 (E.D. Tex.).
