原告: Better Mouse v. Steelseries
光學電競滑鼠專利訴訟 Better Mouse Company 控告 Steelseries ApS 及其美國子公司,終於2016年1月14日陪審團做出不侵權初判。
下面那麼多訴訟案中,大部分被告都盡早和解,把律師費省下來轉作和解金; 應該只有被告 Steelseries ApS 投資數百萬美金律師費,堅持訴訟到底 (2014 Q1 打到 2016 Q1), 經陪審團開庭審理 jury trial 後,產生最後判決 verdict, 如附件,最後陪審團判決是 Steelseries 滑鼠並無侵害專利7,532,200 claim6。最後,被告Steelseries 還獲得律師費補償5.5萬美金。

Asus 曾經對 USP# 7532200 提出 Inter-Parte review, 但中途和解, 就撤回IPR 了。
淺藍色案件的被告都已經和解,橘色是目前pending中的訴訟。
