Patent Owner Drops Digital Ticket Patent Suit Against MLB

By Editorial Team

The owner of a patent that covers digital ticketing technology has decided to drop infringement claims against Major League Baseball’s interactive division. This move marks the end of the claims against the last remaining defendant in the case.

The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, involved a patent numbered 9,047,715 titled “System and method for credential management and administration.” The patent owner initially brought claims against Major League Baseball Inc. and StubHub Inc.

However, the patent owner has now dropped the claims against Major League Baseball’s interactive division, effectively ending the legal dispute. The decision to drop the lawsuit was made after careful consideration and evaluation of the case.

Law firms involved in the case included Goldman Ismail, Hecht Partners, and the Law Office of Gerard F. Dunne. The presiding judge over the case was Paul A. Engelmayer.

While the specific reasons for dropping the lawsuit were not disclosed, this development brings closure to the legal battle over digital ticketing technology between the patent owner and Major League Baseball’s interactive division.
