USPTO Issues Adverse Judgment Against Dimension, Inc., Cancelling Each of the 25 Operative Claims of Dimension's Scaling Patent '053 As a Result of TMM, Inc.'s IPR Petition
March 30, 2015
TMM, Inc. (TMMI-PK) ("TMMI") or (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Inter Partes Review ("IPR") Petition that TMMI filed with the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("Board") in May 2014 seeking to invalidate the operative claims of Dimension, Inc.'s Patent Number 8,639,053 has resulted in the Board's issuance of a final adverse judgment order against Dimension (the patent owner) cancelling each of the 25 operative '053 patent claims (1-16, 22-30) of Dimension.
Trial was not instituted by the Board on the 5 dependent claims (17-21) which are unrelated to TMMI's proprietary technology and are considered by TMMI to be so narrow that they do not in any way apply to or limit such proprietary technology. As a result, TMMI contemplates no further action with respect to such inoperative claims at this time even though they are also deemed invalid on their face on the basis of multiple instances of prior art.
TMMI will continue to aggressively protect TMMI's proprietary intellectual property and related assets as necessary.
ON BEHALF OF THE TMMI BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF TMM, INC.:
GERARD V. CAVANAUGH
CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT
