Haynes Boone is pleased to announce significant victories on behalf of EagleView in two separate patent disputes.
Partner Greg Webb led the team in successfully defending EagleView’s patents in both cases, resulting in favorable rulings that protect key intellectual property rights related to geospatial technology.
In an Oct. 9 decision, the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) denied institution of an inter partes review (IPR) filed by Nearmap US, Inc., against EagleView’s U.S. Patent No. 10,671,648 B2.
The PTAB determined that Nearmap failed to establish a reasonable likelihood of prevailing as to any of the claims challenged in the IPR, securing a major victory for EagleView’s innovative geographic database system.
One day later, the PTAB also rejected Nearmap’s petition to review EagleView’s U.S. Patent No. 9,182,657 B2. This second ruling further reinforces the strength of EagleView’s patent portfolio, which covers important aspects of its proprietary image-capturing technology used in aerial imaging and property analytics.
“We are very pleased the Board agreed with our positions and denied institution of both IPRs,” Webb said. “The rulings help protect EagleView’s competitive edge in the geographic-imaging space.”
The decisions bolster EagleView’s position as a leader in advanced property and aerial imaging solutions and underscore the strength of its intellectual property rights.
The Haynes Boone team working on these disputes also included Partners Debbie McComas and Jonathan Bowser and Associates Angela Oliver, Adam Erickson and Laura Vu.
