Resolution of Patent Troll’s Claims Against Outdoor Equipment Distributor

We represented one of the largest distributors of camping and outdoor equipment in a patent infringement suit related to LED flashlights. The plaintiff was a classic “patent troll,” who pushed hard to “monetize” the patents. Notwithstanding this pressure, we carefully analyzed non-infringement positions and invalidity positions. Based on this analysis, we were able to resolve the case on terms very favorable to our client, allowing our client to expand use of LED technology in its lighting products.
