J. Kasubhai denies the adhesive manufacturing company's renewed motion for judgment in the software company's lawsuit alleging that the adhesive manufacturing company copied the protected design of the software company's patent for its serial number encoder, as the patent partially relates to systems for encoded and commissioned wireless radio frequency identification devices. The adhesive manufacturing company claims that Dr. Engels' testimony qualifies for the substantially different evidence exception to the mandate rule, but Dr. Engels' testimony is not materially different because it does not alter the language of the patent.

J. Conley grants summary judgment to Target in a lawsuit from an intellectual property transfer company claiming Target violated six of its patents for technology to help customers locate products in a store using computerized systems. Because all of the patents in question are directed to the same abstract idea of "collecting, analyzing, retrieving and displaying information," and nothing else about the patent claims make them into something more than abstract ideas, the company's arguments fail. The company's motion for partial summary judgment is denied, and its other motions to strike, for claims construction and for a claims construction hearing are denied as moot.
Court: USDC Western District of Wisconsin, Judge: Conley, Filed On: February 6, 2024, Case #: 3:22cv425, NOS: Patent - Property Rights, Categories: patent
J. Kennelly partially grants multiple motions from both parties in this patent infringement suit.

J. Robart orders a supplemental briefing on the manufacturer's motion to dismiss the metal supplier's complaint that the manufacturer infringed on the metal supplier's patents related to fire-blocking devices.

The manufacturer and its co-defendants may file an optional supplemental reply to that supplemental brief by no later than Feb. 16, 2024.

J. Biggs grants Pfizer’s motion to seal information that is redacted from an associated amended joint case status report in this patent infringement case against a pharmaceutical competitor. Based on the type of infringement case Pfizer brought, the FDA has to withhold approval of the competitor’s product for 2.5 years while the parties litigate the infringement. As this case was previously transferred to a related multidistrict litigation action and the status report was originally confidential, Pfizer correctly argues that it should remain so.
