ScramogeTechnology corrects misleading narrative from BMW's counsel Finnegan LLP.
DUBLIN,Aug. 28, 2023/PRNewswire/ -- Scramoge Technology Ltd., an Irish-based company specializing in the licensing of technology in the field of wireless charging, responds to the misleading narrative released by BMW's counsel, Finnegan,Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner LLP. The true facts are far afield from the "one-two punch" described in Finnegan'sAugust 23, 2023press release.
In 2022, Scramoge brought suit against BMW inthe United StatesDistrict Court for the Eastern District ofTexas一个rising out of BMW's一个llegedinfringement of patented technology owned by Scramoge. As a result of that lawsuit, BMW's supplier of the accused infringing technology engaged in reasonable licensing discussions with Scramoge which resulted in a license. As a result, Scramoge was legally required to dismiss its action against BMW inTexas, and promptly did so. Despite the dismissal of such action, and the granting of the license, several months later BMW inexplicably maintained a subsequent action it brought against Scramoge in the Eastern District ofMichiganseeking a declaratory judgment that BMW did not infringe Scramoge's patented technology despite being advised that its supplier was licensed . When BMW and its counsel Finnegan refused to dismiss theMichigan一个ction, Scramoge publicly filed a motion to dismiss BMW's action with theMichiganCourt. In that motion Scramoge also advised Finnegan that it would be liable to Scramoge for fees and costs incurred by Scramoge for BMW and Finnegan continuing to pursue the baselessMichigan一个ction – Finnegan never responded. Before that motion was decided, Finnegan and BMW relented, agreeing to dismiss theMichigan一个ction and additional challenges filed with the Patent and Trial Appeal Board, and the parties also submitted a pleading inTexasstipulating that they would consider the dismissal with prejudice.
Far from being a total victory for BMW, Scramoge successfully enforced its patent rights against companies, like BMW, who一个llegedlyinfringe the patented wireless charging technology.
