A family social app company prevailed in a patent suit filed by Jupiter-based defense contractor Advanced Ground Information Systems Inc. AGIS, which filed suit in 2014, claimed California-based Life360 Inc. violated four AGIS patents by administering “circles” or end users, and as such Life360 performed each and every step of the asserted method claimed.
But Life360 argued the alleged patent infringements were invalid because AGIS’s patents were not new or unique compared to previous patents for location tracking tech from the early 2000s, and setting up a circle did not involve performing every step of AGIS’s claims. The jury agreed with Life360, finding the complany did not infringe any of the patents.
