NPE Catharon dismisses case against FedEx in the face of two IPRs
Catharon Intellectual Property, LLC
FedEx Corp.
One year after accusing longstanding Finnegan client FedEx of patent infringement in the Eastern District of Texas, non-practicing entity Catharon IP dismissed its claims against FedEx with prejudice. Catharon IP claimed that its patent covered a common use of Javascript in today’s websites. The dismissal came after Finnegan attorneys filed two IPRs challenging the validity of Catharon’s patent.
