Garmin International, Inc., a subsidiary of Garmin, Ltd., won its patent lawsuit brought by Logantree LP against Garmin in Kansas federal court.
After three days of testimony, the jury found that Garmin’s smartwatches did not use Logantree’s allegedly patented technology. The jury’s verdict is subject to appeal.
“Garmin has always been determined to defend itself and the work of its engineers when faced with baseless patent lawsuits,” said Andrew Etkind, Garmin vice president and general counsel. “Unfounded patent lawsuits continue to corrupt the patent system and debase the value of true innovation. Standing up for ourselves and our associates, like the Garmin engineers who are responsible for developing our innovative products, is an inherent part of our culture.”
Adam Seitz and Megan Redmond of Erise IP and David Ayres and Sam Korte of Garmin represented Garmin in the case.
