Finnegan represented Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. in this patent infringement action brought by VDPP, LLC. VDPP’s complaint asserted a patent directed to a 3D display and glasses system, which it alleged was infringed by Volkswagen’s camera systems. We moved to dismiss on several grounds, including VDPP’s failure to allege compliance with the marking statute, 35 U.S.C. § 287(a). The Court agreed with our arguments and dismissed the case with prejudice. Following dismissal, the Court awarded Volkswagen its attorneys’ fees, finding both VDPP and its counsel jointly and severally liable.
