John Danforth Patent Quotations

While we prefer to resolve issues outside of the courtroom, we believe we have a strong patent position, including patents that issued in the past four years that must be defended appropriately.

We are pleased with this ruling and look forward to proceeding to the patent phase of our case. We have great confidence in our intellectual property position and are pleased with the opportunity to present our position to a jury.

By doing this, we give defendants and potential defendants a way to avoid significant exposure to antitrust and patent cases.

All we have to prove is that the Patent and Trademark Office was correct in issuing our patents, and then we can settle damages.

These are complex cases that merit coordinated decision making. With today's order and our new filing, we are taking steps consistent with the nature of these cases and with our efforts over the past four years to see them resolved in California. While we prefer to resolve issues outside of the courtroom, we believe we have a strong patent position, including patents that issued in the past four years that must be defended appropriately.
