Represented Telular Corporation in litigation brought by PerDiemCo LLC (E.D. Tex.; Fed. Cir.; USPTO), alleging infringement of seven patents concerning vehicle and asset tracking technology. Telular challenged those and three other patents in inter partes review (IPR) proceedings before the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). In 2017, the PTAB invalidated three patents as to all challenged claims, determinations that stand final after PerDiemCo dropped its appeals at the Federal Circuit. In six of the other IPRs, PerDiemCo surrendered its patent claims, sought adverse judgment, and granted covenants not to sue Telular. In 2018, a settlement was reached and PerDiemCo dismissed all of its patent infringement claims against Telular.
