Patent Infringement Action Settles After Defendant Agrees to Cease Infringing Activities

Baker Marquart was recently retained to protect a client’s patent portfolio.  Upon learning of one party’s infringing activities – and that party’s refusal to voluntarily cease that infringement – the firm quickly filed suit.  Before the defendant responded to the complaint, the defendant agreed to cease the alleged infringement.  The parties then negotiated a settlement on terms favorable to the firm’s client.  That settlement not only protected the client’s patent portfolio, but it also facilitated potentially lucrative future business dealings among the parties.
