Markman Claim Construction gives Parabit a favorable ruling from the court against Synergistics, Inc., Millenium Group, Inc., Island Master Locksmith Inc., IML Security, Gregory I. Goldman, Cathy T. Goldman, Steven R. London and Marc Seidenberg.
Bellmore, NY – On February 14, 2019, Parabit Systems, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against named Defendants, Synergistics, Inc., Millenium Group, Inc., Island Master Locksmith Inc., IML Security, Gregory I. Goldman, Cathy T. Goldman, Steven R. London and Marc Seidenberg. In the Complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Civil Action Number 19-Civ-0888, Parabit alleges that the Defendants in the lawsuit have infringed and continue to infringe one of Parabit’s patents, specifically U.S. Patent No. 8,523,072, entitled “Card Reader Protection System.” This valuable patent protects Parabit’s pioneering development in, and relates to, card reader protection systems, in particular, devices, systems and methods for detecting card reader skimming devices. The unauthorized use, manufacture, sale, offer for sale, or importation of Defendants’ allegedly infringing products violates Parabit’s patent rights in this technology. Parabit's lawsuit therefore seeks both a permanent injunction and damages in an amount to be determined at trial.
On March 16, 2021, a Markman Claim Construction (“MCC”) Hearing was held in the U.S. District Court (An MCC Hearing is a pretrial hearing in which the judge examines the evidence presented by the parties on the correct and proper interpretation of disputed key terms and phrases of asserted patent claims). The claim construction ruling is a critical step in patent infringement cases. The proof of infringement relies upon a finding that the accused device meets all of the limitations of the patent claim as those limitations or elements of the asserted patent claim are interpreted by the Court as a matter of law.
On May 24, 2021, the Court issued its MCC ruling. In its ruling the Court adopted Parabit’s proposed constructions, while rejecting Defendants’ proposed constructions, for many of the key claim terms and phrases, bolstering Parabit’s infringement case against Defendants.
