Patent Re-exam Updates
WiLAN analyzes the products of potential licensees to determine whether their products are infringing on patents in our portfolio of patented innovations. WiLAN will notify potential licensees of patent infringements and our interest to enter into a license agreement. The preferred outcome is always a fair license agreement achieved through negotiation. When all reasonable efforts undertaken by WiLAN to reach a negotiated agreement fail, litigation is an unfortunate but sometimes necessary step for WiLAN to be fairly compensated by those who profit from the use of our technology.
It has now become very common for Defendants in patent infringement lawsuits to, as part of their defense strategy, file requests for re-examination of patents at issue in such actions.
For information on re-examination requests involving patents owned by WiLAN, please select from the list of requests in the navigation bar to the left.
