Verizon Attack on EMSAT Cell Phone System Patent among Reexamination Requests Filed Week of December 13, 2010

| December 21, 2010

The most interesting reexamination request last week was filed by Verizon Wireless against EMSAT’s U.S. Patent No. 7,289,763 for a cellular telephone system (see Inter partes Request No. (6)).  EMSAT had sued nine companies for infringement of the ‘763 patent, including Verizon.
