Blank Rome successfully represented Return Path in the defense of a patent infringement suit brought in the Western District of Texas. Return Path, Inc. provides data solutions to various companies worldwide. It offers Email Optimization Suite for email marketing programs; Email Fraud Protection that uses threat intelligence to detect, block, and respond to email threats targeting the customers in real-time; and Consumer Insight that provides visibility into the preferences and detailed purchase behaviors of various consumers. The plaintiff dropped the suit after its attorneys withdrew upon receipt of a Rule 11 letter from Blank Rome promising to move for sanctions should the plaintiff appeal the court’s Markman ruling. The plaintiff paid Return Path close to six figures in costs. The Blank Rome team included Ken Bressler (Picture), Domingo LLagostera, and Cole Duncan.
