- Autoliv ASP Inc. v. Hyundai Mobis Co. Ltd., No. 2:13-cv-00141
Alston & Bird filed a patent infringement lawsuit on behalf of Autoliv ASP Inc. against Hyundai Mobis and Mobis Alabama in the Middle District of Alabama. The lawsuit involves two patents, both directed to passenger airbag safety features that prevent injuries when occupants are too close to the airbag when the airbag deploys in an accident. The defendants filed petitions for inter partes review (IPR) of both patents-in-suit. We filed preliminary responses, which resulted in only partial institution of the IPR proceedings. We have won all appeals to the Federal Circuit. Following trials in the IPRs, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) issued a final written decision that the claims of the lead patent are not invalid, even though the vast majority of instituted IPRs end in the invalidation of the challenged claims.
