United States Appellate Court Rules in Buffalo
24/09/2008
The Australian science agency CSIRO sued Buffalo Inc. and its US affiliate Buffalo Technology (USA) Inc. in a United States district court, alleging that Buffalo’s products infringed its U.S. Patent 5,487,069, which concerns Wi-Fi technology relating to the transmission of wireless signals. After the district court held that Buffalo’s products infringed certain claims of the patent and that those claims were valid, the district court ordered Buffalo to stop selling its allegedly infringing products in the U.S. Buffalo appealed that order to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
On September 19, 2008, the Federal Circuit ruled in Buffalo’s favor and has remanded this case to the district court ruling that the district court’s Summary Judgment was insufficient on the merits of obviousness of CSIRO patent. Therefore, this case will be tried again before the district court.
In this connection Buffalo is hopeful that it will shortly be permitted to, once again, sell IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g compliant products in the United States. The US ruling does not have any legal implications on Buffalo Technology in EMEA nor sales of Buffalo's wireless products within these regions.
“Buffalo appreciates the rulings of the Federal Circuit and are very pleased to have an opportunity to get our case defended at jury trial” said Masanao Tsuzuki, Director of Buffalo Inc.
Buffalo expects that the district court will, in the near future, schedule a trial on whether the patent claims are invalid because the claims were “obvious” at the time CSIRO filed for its patent, and will put forth every effort to prevail the retrial at the district court.
