Federal Court Invalidates Patent Troll Case Against EFI and Others

While Digitech had extracted settlements from a number of parties, EFI refused to settle, insisting that it was never a proper party to the case in the first place.

"We are pleased that the court invalidated the patent, but it was clear this case should never have been filed," said EFI General Counsel Bryan Ko. "It is yet another illustration of how patent trolls are clogging the judicial system and wasting public resources. Until the system changes, however, EFI won't be bullied into settling these abusive lawsuits."
