Neo Wireless is currently embroiled in multidistrict litigation with American Honda Motor Co., due to an ongoing dispute over a patent related to broadband communications technology. Most recently, Honda implored for a review of the situation from the director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This comes after the Patent Trial and Appeal Board denied a petition put forth by Honda seeking to overturn Neo Wireless’s patent. Honda maintains that the denial of their petition ought to be reconsidered.
In Honda’s request for review, the company argued that the decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board to withhold the reevaluation of the patent, citing the ongoing litigation, should be repudiated; albeit the final discretion lies with the director of the USPTO.
The future course of this matter will hinge upon the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s director’s decision and could potentially impact the ongoing litigation between these two corporate entities.
