Kenyon achieved a victory on behalf of Sony Corporation in a patent infringement case brought against Sony and others by Shared Memory Graphics (SMG), a subsidiary company of known non-practicing entity, Acacia. The case, which we successfully transferred from the Western District of Arkansas to the Northern District of California, involved the assertion of two patents against Sony’s PSP, PS2 and PS3 game consoles. Kenyon mounted aggressive defenses that resulted in victories on several motions which ultimately made SMG dismiss all its claims against Sony with prejudice. Using a creative strategy and deep knowledge of Local Patent Rules, Kenyon was able to achieve this victory while sparing Sony from the burden of engaging in discovery. The dismissal with prejudice brought to a close a nearly ten-years of infringement allegations against Sony with respect to the patents-in-suit. Case number 10-civ-2475 (2011).
