Although NTP v. RIM settled years ago, the PTO’s reexamination of NTP’s patents have continued to plod along. In the background are allegations by NTP that PTO officials improperly (and covertly) met with RIM CEO Jim Balsillie and other RIM representatives regarding the ongoing (ex parte) reexaminations.
During ex parte reexaminatoin, third-party communications are strictly forbidden. It is clear, however, that in the months leading up to the NTP settlement, the PTO was feeling a tremendous amount of political pressure from RIM as well as Congress and the Senate.
Now, Congressman Howard Berman has demanded information from the PTO regarding these meetings “hand-delivered” by “May 19, 2008.”
“Did this meeting [with Balsillie and counsel] take place? What was discussed at this meeting? What is the USPTO’s policy concerning ex parte communications between senior USPTO officials and parties who have an interest in the outcome of proceedings before the office? In what other instances, if any, did senior USPTO officials engage in similar ex parte communications with parties that had an interest in the outcome of a proceeding being conducted before the Office?”
Hopefully the Office will be able to provide Chairman Berman with a tidy set of evidence to clarify the rules and exactly what happened.

WASHINGTON (Legal Newsline)-The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday affirmed a $4.3 million award against Toyota Motor Corp. for using another company's patented technology in its hybrid vehicles. Without comment, the high court declined to hear an appeal by Toyota to overturn the damage award given to Paice LLC of McLean, Va. An appeals court recently told a trial judge to reconsider a ruling that made Toyota pay $25 for every Prius, Highlander and Lexus RX400h sold using the disputed technology. The technology involves a microprocessor that accepts torque information from the internal combustion engine and the electric motor. In its appeal to the Supreme Court, Toyota said Paice was a "Patent litigation company," attempting to "impose a royalty toll on the Prius and similar Toyota hybrid vehicles based on an obscure Patent." Urging the justices not to hear the case, Paice said the market for hybrid cars "did not take off" until Toyota "revamped its vehicle program" with technology Paice patented almost a decade earlier. The case is Toyota Motor v. Paice, 07-1120. From Legal Newsline: Reach reporter Chris Rizo by e-mail at chrisrizo@legalnewsline.com.
