Neology Commences Litigation in Superior Court of California Against RFID Manufacturer

 

Neology, a provider of integrated solutions for radio frequency identification (RFID) applications, has commenced litigation in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Diego against RFID manufacturer Confidex Ltd. and Confidex, Inc.

Neology seeks damages and injunctive relief based on claims for breach of contract, unfair competition and declaratory relief to prevent Confidex from making, offering to make, selling, distributing, offering to sell, having sold, using, having imported, or importing into the United States any RFID devices that are compatible or comply with the ISO-18000-6C protocol, which is an international standard governing the way RFID products communicate with one another in the ultra-high frequency (UHF) spectrum.

Neology in late 2013 sued Confidex for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware claiming that certain of Confidex’s RFID products compatible with the 6C protocol infringed various Neology patents. Rather than litigate Neology’s infringement claims, Confidex and Neology entered into a Settlement Agreement that, among other things, provides Confidex not make, offer to make, have made, sell, distribute, offer to sell, have sold, use, have imported, and/or import into the United States, for any purpose, any RFID devices that are compatible or comply with the 6C protocol during the life of Neology’s asserted patents. Confidex also agreed not to permit any third parties to do any of the same acts with any of the Confidex products.
