Experience
Checkpoint Systems
ADT, Actron AG, Tokai Denshi
We defended ADT, Actron, and Tokai Denshi against Checkpoint Systems’ attempt to block their importation of resonate tags used to detect merchandise theft. At trial before the ITC judge, we proved that Checkpoint’s patent was invalid on an unusual basis: another Checkpoint employee had conceived and reduced to practice the claimed invention before the work of the inventor named in the patent. The full commission agreed. We then successfully defended that decision on appeal, where the Federal Circuit not only affirmed the decision, but also bestowed a “chutzpah” award on our adversary.
