This Week's Patent News:
Amgen's $50.3 Million Verdict in Cancer Drug Patent Case: A Delaware federal jury found that Amgen's leukemia drug, Blincyto, infringed on two patents owned by Germany's Lindis Biotech. The jury awarded $50.3 million in damages, which could potentially triple due to willful infringement. Amgen plans to challenge the verdict, asserting the patents are invalid.
Lenovo Smartphones Infringe Ericsson's 5G Patents: The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that certain Motorola Mobility smartphones, produced by Lenovo, infringe on Ericsson's 5G wireless technology patents. This preliminary decision could lead to a U.S. import ban on the affected devices, pending a final ruling in April.
CreeLED Initiates Patent Infringement Suit Against ADJ Products: CreeLED filed a patent infringement lawsuit against ADJ Products, LLC, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The suit pertains to alleged unauthorized use of CreeLED's patented technologies.
Federal Circuit Narrows Scope in EcoFactor v. Google: In a terse order, the Federal Circuit significantly narrowed the scope of the pending en banc review in EcoFactor, Inc. v. Google LLC, rebuking Google for its opening brief that extended beyond the court's limited grant of review. This development underscores the court's commitment to procedural precision in patent cases.
R.J. Reynolds Loses Appeal in $95 Million Altria E-Cigarette Patent Case: A U.S. appeals court upheld a $95.2 million jury verdict in favor of Altria, ruling that R.J. Reynolds' Vuse vaping devices infringed on three of Altria's e-cigarette patents. This decision reinforces the protection of patented technologies in the e-cigarette market.
Honda's New Lighting Tech Aims to Make Motorcycles Unmissable
In a notable technological development, Honda has filed a patent for a novel visibility system inspired by maritime navigation. The system is designed to enhance a significant factor in many collisions. | ![]() |
The concept utilizes a distinctive lighting arrangement: white lights are placed at the front and red at the rear, resembling the watercraft's stern and bow lights. Additionally, green and red lights on the sides mirror those found on boats, signaling the vehicle's orientation to others. Such a system promises to make motorcycles more conspicuous, particularly in low-visibility conditions like nighttime or adverse weather, potentially reducing accidents and enhancing rider safety.
This patent underscores Honda's commitment to pioneering safety technologies in the motorcycle industry. It aligns with a broader trend in automotive innovation, where manufacturers increasingly focus on safety features to protect vulnerable road users. If implemented, this system could set a new standard for motorcycle safety, reinforcing the brand's reputation as a leader in technological advancements.
