Court: Company didn't induce patent infringement
Press Releases |
2014/06/03 12:19
|
A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Monday that a company is not liable for inducing patent infringement if someone other than the company carries out some of the steps leading to infringement.
The justices unanimously ruled Monday that Internet content delivery company Limelight Networks Inc. did not infringe on the patented system for managing images and video owned by rival Akamai Technologies Inc.
Akamai claimed Limelight used some of its patented methods for speeding content delivery, and then illegally encouraged its customers to carry out the remaining steps. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit agreed, but the Supreme Court reversed.
Justice Samuel Alito said all the steps for patent infringement must be performed by a single party. Since there was no direct infringement, Alito said there could be no inducement.
The case drew interest from tech giants including Google and Oracle, which have been sued frequently by so-called "patent trolls," companies that buy patents and force businesses to pay license fees or face costly litigation. They had urged the high court to overturn the Federal Circuit in order to limit the growing number of patent infringement lawsuits.
In another patent case Monday, the high court also ruled unanimously that a medical device company's patent on a heart-rate monitor used with exercise equipment was too ambiguous to pass muster. Biosig Instruments had sued competitor Nautilus Inc., for allegedly infringing its monitor's design. |

Court to hear dispute over state tax collection
Court News |
2014/05/30 14:38
|
The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to consider a dispute over how a state may tax the income that its residents earn in another state.
In a case that could affect how taxes are collected in every state, the justices will hear an appeal from Maryland officials who want to overturn a lower court ruling that found the state's tax law unconstitutional.
Maryland law allows residents to deduct income taxes paid to other states from their Maryland state tax. But it does not apply that deduction when it comes to a local "piggyback tax" the state collects for counties and some city governments.
Last year, the Maryland Court of Appeals said the tax violates the Constitution's Commerce Clause. The court said the law discourages Maryland residents from earning money outside the state.
Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler says the state has authority to tax all income of its residents, even income earned outside the state. He said the Court of Appeals' decision could cost local governments $45 million to $50 million annually and warned that Maryland might have to refund up to $120 million in taxes.

Life insurance is meant to provide financial support to your loved ones. Life insurance money is often used to pay for funeral expenses, taxes and other bills that are difficult to pay after the death of a loved one. Regrettably, life insurance companies don't always uphold their promises to pay these benefits when grieving family members are most in need. Insurance companies have countless ways to cause additional hardship to grieving family members by attempting to justify a wrongful denial decision. They may delay payment, pay a portion of the benefits, or deny the claim altogether. They are able to do this by improperly lapsing life insurance policies, combing through records for unmet requirements, pointing our technicalities in the policy language, or even disagreeing with the coroner regarding the manner of death.
The attorneys at McKennon Law Group have over forty years of combined experience in quickly identifying and addressing the wrongdoings of insurance companies. Our attorneys have the most experience available due to defending insurance companies with respect to the claims listd above.
