Date 01/11/2013

In the case of Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated v. International Securities Exchange, LLC, Case No. 1:13-cv-01339-JMF, the Honorable Jesse M. Furman of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a ruling yesterday that halted CBOE's patent suit against ISE while the validity of the patents-in-suit is examined by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). ISE had previously filed petitions with the USPTO to invalidate the CBOE patents (US Patent Nos.7,356,498, 7,980,457 and 8,266,044). Judge Furman agreed with ISE that serious validity questions regarding the CBOE patents should be resolved by the USPTO and not the district court. As a result, the court proceedings will now be suspended pending a decision on the matter by the USPTO.
