The letter did not identify any specific products of the Predecessor Company that Alliacense believed to infringe any of the subject patents; however, the letter states Alliacense’s belief that “virtually every product manufactured today utilizing microprocessors or embedded microprocessors” will require a portfolio license from Alliacense. We believe that Alliancense’s assertions are without merit. Alliacense failed to assert a claim in our bankruptcy case and any pre-petition liability, if any exists, was discharged upon our emergence from bankruptcy.
Post-petition liability exists and as they were aware of the claims, willful infringement is so much easier to prove, imvho.
Be well
