The United States District Court for the Southern District of California granted Garmin’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement and found that Garmin’s popular Forerunner® and Edge® products could not be covered by Pacing’s patent. The Court’s decision is subject to appeal.
“This is yet another victory for Garmin in its campaign against the plague of bogus patent lawsuits that have corrupted the patent system at a huge cost to American industry and consumers,” said Andrew Etkind, Garmin’s vice president and general counsel.
“Garmin’s fitness products are nothing like the playback devices described in Pacing’s patent and we‘re pleased that the Court was able to summarily dispose of this lawsuit.”
Garmin was represented by a team led by Nicholas Groombridge, Jennifer Wu, and Jenny Wu of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP.
