On November 14, 2023, tech company Express Mobile submitted an appeal to the Federal Circuit, seeking to overturn various legal decisions that had been made against it. The challenges concern a suit previously levelled at website hosting platform GoDaddy. Express Mobile had accused GoDaddy of infringing numerous patents, although the specifics of these patents have not been disclosed. The appeal stems from the tech company’s claim that the lower court incorrectly denied its request for a new trial involving some of these patents.
It remains to be seen whether the Federal Circuit will be amenable to reviewing the rulings in question. As this legal battle unfolds, it will doubtlessly have a significant impact not only on the two involved companies, but also on the broader tech industry’s approach to intellectual property and patents.
