Wilmington, Del. — A federal court today entered a final judgment in favor of Google, dismissing the final remaining patent claim in litigation brought by Big Easy Technology LLC (“B.E. Tech”), effectively ending the case.
Originally filed in 2020 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, the lawsuit alleged that Google’s advertising products infringed patents related to targeted online advertising.
Over the course of the litigation, multiple patent claims were invalidated through inter partes review proceedings, leaving a single claim at issue.
On April 16, the court granted Google’s motion for summary judgment, holding that the remaining claim is invalid under Section 101 of the Patent Act, finding it directed to an abstract idea without an inventive concept. The decision resolves the case in full, just weeks before a scheduled trial.
The case involved a range of Google advertising products and spanned nearly six years of litigation.
The Keker team representing Google includes Bob Van Nest, Gene Paige, Ryan Wong, David Rosen, Kristin Hucek, Vishesh Narayen, Taylor Reeves, Michael Deamer, and Gayatri Paranjape.
The case is B.E. Technology LLC v. Google LLC, case number 1:20-cv-00622, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
