Regarding "The patent Rogue", the science and technology profession has a protracted famous lawsuit. "Patent Rogue", a "Soverain software company", claims to have a patent for online shopping carts and to launch lawsuits against a large number of retailers. But a U.S. appeals court recently declared the company's shopping cart patent invalid.
The company claims that the "shopping cart patent" involves the online shopping settlement and payment links. The company sued a large number of retail websites in the United States. Earlier last year, the US Supreme Court ruled that the plaintiff's charges were dismissed in a lawsuit filed by the company to sue the US computer retail website, the new Egg network. In addition, the plaintiff's claim of up to 2.5 million dollars was also dismissed.
However, in the face of a series of litigation losses, the company refused to concede, but hired a large number of lawyers to continue the appeal.
So far, the "patent rogue" has sued more than 50 U.S. retailers by using so-called shopping cart patents, according to media reports.
Earlier, in the "Victoria Secret" and "Avon" two lawsuits, the company also failed, followed by an appeal.
Recently, the U.S. "Federal Circuit appeals court" Judge once again dismissed the Soverain company for the two accused of the lawsuit, and reiterated that "online shopping cart" patent invalid. Morning)
