On June 25, 2026, Lowenstein & Weatherwax’s client Express Mobile, Inc. received a decision confirming every challenged claim of its U.S. patent No. 7,594,168, a patent which, on November 7, 2025, a federal jury found valid and infringed in a $170 million damages verdict.  The victory came after an inter partes review (“IPR”) lasting nearly five years, an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals to the Federal Circuit, a successful request for Director Review by the Director of the USPTO, and a referral to a new panel of the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”).  Both the jury and the Patent Office heard and rejected the same theory of alleged invalidity, and this decision overturns two erroneous PTAB rulings that contradicted the result that the jury trial reached.  Lowenstein & Weatherwax’s co-counsel, including MoloLamken and jury trial counsel Steptoe, worked with Lowenstein & Weatherwax to achieve this successful result.
