: Philip Brooks’ Patent Infringement UpdatesCognex Receives Settlement in Patent Dispute
By Philip Brooks
The following is excerpted from a September 8, 2009 Cognex press release available at Business Wire:
Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ:CGNX) has accepted a settlement offer from Multitest Elektronische Systeme GmbH and its U.S. subsidiary in a dispute concerning Multitest?s importation and sale of equipment containing MVTec HALCON? machine vision software. Terms of the settlement between the parties were not made public.
Cognex has alleged in complaints filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and in federal court in Massachusetts that HALCON software, marketed by MVTec Software GmbH, infringes at least three Cognex machine vision patents. In addition to Multitest, the ITC is investigating 20 other companies for violating Cognex patents by selling, importing and using MVTec products that contain machine vision technology invented and patented by Cognex.
The current settlement agreement releases Multitest from the ITC investigation. Multitest is not a party to the federal court lawsuit.
