LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 15, 2015) - Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA) ("Marathon"), a patent licensing company, announced that on June 12, 2015, the company's subsidiary Signal IP, Inc., received an order setting the trial schedule in the matter of Signal IP, Inc. v. Nissan North America, Inc., case number CV14-02962 JAK (C.D. Cal.).
The order also applies to the Cases of: "Signal IP, Inc. v. Mazda Motor of America, Inc.," "Signal IP, Inc. v. Mitsubishi Motors of North America, Inc.," "Signal IP, Inc. v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc.," "Signal IP, Inc. v. Kia Motors America, Inc.," "Signal IP, Inc. v. Subaru of America, Inc.," "Signal IP, Inc. v. Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC et al.," "Signal IP, Inc. v. BMW of North America, LLC et al.," "Signal IP, Inc. v. Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.," and "Signal IP, Inc. v. Porsche Cars of North America, Inc."
On May 26, 2015, The District Court of The Central District of California ("the Court") issued an order denying the motion to stay pending reexamination submitted by defendants Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. and Bentley Motors, Inc. In its conclusion, the Court ruled, "For the foregoing reasons, when all the relevant factors are considered, there is not a sufficient basis to enter the requested stay. Therefore, the motion is DENIED."
On June 12, 2015, the Company's subsidiary, Signal IP, Inc., received an order setting the trial schedule as follows:
Trial 1: March 15, 2016 at 9:00 am
Trial 2: May 10, 2016 at 9:00 am
Trial 3: July 12, 2016 at 9:00 am
Trial 4: September 13, 2016 at 9:00 am
Subsequent trials shall start approximately every 60 days thereafter. If an action against one defendant is resolved, then all subsequent actions are moved up to an earlier date.
Doug Croxall, CEO of Marathon stated, "We are pleased both by the Courts ruling denying the defendants requested stay, followed by its order setting the trial schedule. With the first trial commencing March 15, 2016, followed by one every 60 days thereafter, and defendants subject to being advanced on the calendar if an action against one defendant is resolved, we are ensured an accelerated trial schedule. With discovery now open, and having already reached settlements with previous defendants, we hope that the trial schedule will foster additional settlement activity and revenue generation. The addition of these trials only adds to an already expansive list of potential revenue opportunities for the company."
Croxall continued, "In upcoming months, we expect to further leverage existing and already licensed assets in Signal and other portfolios owned by Marathon against entirely new defendants, building on the current approximate 50 defendant count. We believe there remains significant opportunity within our current asset base to broaden the depth of monetization of existing revenue generating portfolios, as well as asserting assets currently not in monetization."
In addition to the trial scheduling order described above, the Company has also updated its current scheduled court calendar.
