Global medical technology company based in Irvine wraps up another big patent fight by Tom Cowan, Associate and Gerard von Hoffmann, Partner, Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear, LLP
Partners Catherine Holland and Jeff Van Hoosear authored "Using Pop Culture References in Advertisements? Just Do It Right" in the Orange County Business Journal. Access the PDF below to read the full article.
Excerpt: In this age of smartphone cameras and hashtags, an impromptu remark or a right- place-at-the-right-time snapshot can “go viral” and create instant and immense goodwill. Businesses today use social media as a tool to promote and exploit their brands, and to reach an audience that is simultaneously bigger and better targeted. They should be wary, however, when seeking to appropriate or capitalize on pop culture references, and understand that there can be unintended consequences. The following cases are cautionary reminders that a business needs to be vigilant when adopting promotions or trademarks that incorporate words, slogans or images from pop culture. Trademarks, copyrights, right of publicity and public relations issues all must be cleared before filing a trademark application or kicking off a new advertising campaign.

The document discusses differing interpretations of inter partes review (IPR) estoppel between district courts and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Currently, district courts interpret estoppel narrowly under Shaw Industries, only applying it to grounds instituted in IPR. In contrast, the PTAB broadly interprets estoppel to also include grounds that reasonably could have been raised in IPR. The Federal Circuit's guidance is needed to clarify the scope of estoppel and better align interpretations with legislative intent.

An NGO called mothers2mothers (m2m) recruits and trains HIV-positive mothers to provide support to other mothers living with HIV/AIDS. m2m has expanded across Africa and helps prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV. The organization protects its brand identity through trademarks on its name and logo, which help promote public awareness and fundraising efforts. Trademarks provide affordable intellectual property protection that supports m2m's work in building its reputation.

most thought impossible: to develop a pulse oximeter, which measures a patientʼs
blood oxygen level through a finger sensor that works during patient motion and
low perfusion. In 1989, Kiani founded Masimo as a garage start-up to develop
noninvasive patient monitoring technologies. Since then, Masimoʼs advances in
signal processing have virtually eliminated false alarms and increased detection of
life-threatening events.
Masimo went public in 2007 and has over 3,000 employees worldwide.
Technological innovation has spurred the companyʼs success. But just as crucial
was the patent system. According to Kiani, “strong patent protection was the
foundation of our start-up.” Masimo today holds nearly 600 patents – and they
needed the ones protecting its revolutionary technology.
Assisting Masimo with its patent efforts was Irvine-based intellectual property law
firm Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear. Knobbe began obtaining patents for Masimo
in 1991, and has successfully represented Masimo in numerous patent litigations.
The first ended with a $134 million jury verdict against Nellcor (now owned by
Medtronic), enabling Masimo to enter an agreement under which it still receives
royalties. In the latest case, Masimo won a $467 million verdict against Phillips,
the largest IP verdict in the U.S. in 2014.
The parties announced the latest patent success in November 2016. Masimo
entered into a multi-year business partnership with Philips. Under that agreement,
Masimo received $300 million, and Philips would make Masimoʼs technology more
widely available in Philipsʼs products.
Spearheading Masimoʼs litigation effort were Knobbe Partners Joseph Re and
Stephen Jensen. “This is a great day for Masimo,” Re said. “Our firm has been

Global medical technology company based in Irvine wraps up another big patent fight
by Tom Cowan, Associate and Gerard von Hoffmann, Partner, Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear, LLP
honored to represent Masimo from its earliest days, helping Masimo protect and
expand the use of its revolutionary pulse oximetry technology to the benefit of
patients worldwide.”
Masimoʼs patent and litigation successes have led to rapid adoption of Masimoʼs
life-saving technologies, which are now used each year on well over 100 million
patients.
