The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the dismissal of Xiaohua Huang's patent infringement claims against Amazon regarding semiconductor technologies. Huang failed to specify which products infringed his patent, leading to a ruling that found his claims overly broad and lacking fair notice. Despite attempts to amend his complaints, Huang's inability to clarify his claims supported the lower court's denial of leave to amend. The case highlights the importance of precise allegations in patent infringement litigation.
These statements fall short. They simply assume that either all or a majority of cell phones have the infringing circuit.
Huang did not provide fair notice to Amazon and other defendants by properly specifying which accused products infringed the asserted claims.
The appeal comes following the Northern District of California's dismissal of Huang's second amended complaint and denial of leave to file a third amended complaint.
Huang's infringement claims focused primarily on U.S. Patent No. RE45259, which was dismissed for failing to specify which particular products are at issue.
