Transcore had sued ETC over four patents, but a key question for the court was whether the suit was essentially barred by a 2001 settlement between Transcore and Amherst, N.Y.-based Mark IV Industries. The settlement involved three of the same patents. The fourth patent in the ETC suit had not been issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office at the time of the Transcore-Mark IV settlement, according to Russ Emerson, a partner in the Dallas office of Haynes and Boone who represented ETC. That fourth patent essentially was an overlapping patent for the three other patents in the suit, he says.
