The company won ruling over its ongoing patent infringement litigation against a group of US electric utilities.
The court rejected all of the defendants’ proposed constructions and argument that TransData’s patents were invalid as indefinite under 35 U.S.C. 112.
The order defines the disputed claim terms of TransData’s US Patent Nos. 6,181,294; 6,462,713; and 6,903,699.
The group includes CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, Oncor Electric Delivery Company, Texas-New Mexico Power Company; Denton Municipal Utilities; San Diego Gas & Electric; Denton County Electric Cooperative; Alabama Power Company, Georgia Power Company, and Mississippi Power Company, subsidiaries of Southern Company; Oklahoma Gas & Electric; Tri-County Electric Coop.; and Wisconsin Power & Light.
TransData president Trace Gleibs said that the company is extremely pleased with the court’s claim constructions and the timeliness of the Markman Order.
"The court’s Markman Order is a significant step in this litigation and further validates TransData’s intellectual property rights," Gleibs added.
