WILMINGTON, DELAWARE — (Marketwired) — 02/23/15 — TMM, Inc. (OTC PINK: TMMI) (“TMMI”) or (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) Petition that TMMI filed with the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“Board”) in June 2014 seeking to invalidate the operative claims of Dimension, Inc.–s Patent Number 8,639,053 on the basis of prior art has resulted in the cancellation by Dimension of each of its operative patent claims. On February 18, 2015, Dimension as the Patent Owner advised the Board to cancel its claims 1-16 and 22-30, which are all of Dimension–s –053 Patent claims challenged in TMMI–s IPR Petition. On February 19, 2015, TMMI filed a petition that requests that the Board construe Dimension–s actions as a Request for Adverse Judgment under 37 C.F.R. Sec. 42.73(b) to formally end the proceedings since Dimension as Patent Owner has canceled all of its patent claims involved in the IPR Petition such that there is no remaining claim in the trial (37 C.F.R. Sec. 42.73(b)(2) and Dimension has stated to the Board its decision to abandon the contest (“Patent Owner, has elected … not to defend its interests in this Proceeding.”); 37 C.F.R. Sec. 42.73(b)(4).
On the basis of such actions by Dimension, TMMI has petitioned the Board to take the following actions to formally conclude the cancellation of Dimension–s –053 patent claims:
Going forward, TMMI will continue to aggressively protect any threats to TMMI–s intellectual property assets.
