Justices Won't Eye Axed Bright Data Patents From $7.5M Case

By Editorial Team

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review a Federal Circuit decision that invalidated claims in four network patents owned by Bright Data. The Israeli tech company's argument that the appeals court uses "asymmetrical" claim construction rules was turned down.

Bright Data's patents involved in the case were:

• 10,257,319 - System providing faster and more efficient data communication
• 10,484,510 - System providing faster and more efficient data communication
• 11,044,342 - System providing faster and more efficient data communication
• 11,044,344 - System providing faster and more efficient data communication

The case was handled by law firms including Charhon Callahan, Cherian LLP, Norton Rose, and Scheef & Stone. Government agencies involved were the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Despite the decision, Bright Data's legal battle surrounding these patents has come to a close with the Supreme Court's refusal to review the Federal Circuit's ruling.
