It's a huge win for Ocado. The first line of defense when charged with patent infringement is to invalidate the patents themselves. No patents, no patent infringement. So it doesn't matter if they're doing the same thing if they can get the patents invalidated, which it sounds like is the case here.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoIt isn't a definite conclusion. It still needs to appear before a full committee. This temporarily one for an injunction did conclude that Ocado is using 3/4 patents. But the injuction was not granted. Note: not an expert, but I'll probably ask one in patent law for more information to one to check if I'm correct. Because I have some stocks in AutoStore and that included rudimentary analysis of AutoStore vs. Ocado lawsuits without going deep into the actual patents.
