Gardella Alciati recently settled on behalf its client ThroughPuter, Inc. an international patent dispute with Microsoft. We pursued multiple infringement actions against Microsoft Corporation, one in the Western District of Washington and the other in the United Kingdom. In the Washington case, Gardella Alciati defeated Microsoft’s inter partes review petitions targeting nine out of the eleven patents and the case was heading towards trial. The United Kingdom case was also progressing and was set for trial earlier, in March 2025. Approximately one month before trial was set to begin in the United Kingdom, Microsoft agreed to take a license to the ThroughPuter patents on favorable terms. This was a fantastic result for our client ThroughPuter.
