NorthStar Systems LLC v. BMW et al.

NorthStar Systems LLC

BMW of North America et al.

Secured a royalty-free covenant not to sue from NorthStar for its present and future patent portfolio, which includes patents related to displaying navigation information on electronic maps, mobile devices selectively reporting GPS position information to others, and route-based communication planning architecture and wireless communication. This result was achieved after filing a declaratory judgement as well as IPRs on all claims of all asserted patents, leading to favorable institution decisions.
