Patent Infringement Claims Against Finnegan Client FedEx Dismissed

WASHINGTON, DC - Nearly a year after accusing firm client FedEx of patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Big Baboon, Inc. of Sunnyvale, California agreed to dismiss its claims against FedEx.  The stipulated dismissal came after Finnegan attorneys persuaded Big Baboon that its accusations were baseless.  Big Baboon’s case continues on against FedEx’s eleven codefendants.
