The ITC judge doesn't make a judgement on the validity of the patent but only on if DJI violated it. In the mean time, DJI took the patents to a patent judge who has said the patents are invalid. This is pretty typical in these patent disputes. In the end, Autel looks pretty stupid for buying patents, yes, the patents belonged to another company that Autel bought, that are invalid and then trying to enforce them against DJI. With the negative reaction from the community and the pandemic, will Autel even be in business in 6 months?
Think you nailed it, except for issue over U.S. Judge deciding a Canadian issued Patent was invalid.
What is missing here is: To best of everyone's knowledge, including DJI, is Patent on Blade system was valid. It was only as of this week that DJI's legal team found a U.S. Judge to rule Patent was invalid.
Point being - DJI ignored the Patent. It shows Dishonesty on part of DJI.
For that, I really hope DJI is forced to pay out and pay out big.
Realize some don't care. But they should, being this kind of Big Corporate abuse of Patents using Lawfare kills small time Inventors. |
