Spanish antenna company Fractus has settled its patent litigation row with US smart home security firm Vivint.

Fractus sued Vivint in October 2022 for infringement of its antenna technology patents for security systems (Case 2:22-cv-00413-JRG).

Fractus says the resolution highlights the broad applicability of its technology beyond the mobile phone industry and into the growing IoT market.

By resolving the dispute with Vivint (www.vivint.com), Fractus says it has solidified its position as a partner of versatile and efficient antennas for diverse applications.

Fractus’ antenna technology has proven its efficacy not only in the traditional mobile phone sector but also in the rapidly evolving landscape of IoT. This breakthrough demonstrates the adaptability and resilience of Fractus’ technology, making it suitable for companies seeking connectivity.

“We are pleased to announce the resolution of our patent litigation with Vivint, reinforcing the value and versatility of Fractus’ antenna technology,” said Ruben Bonet, CEO of Fractus.

Antenna technology advancements are driving digital transformation in companies, leading to the provision of IoT services and innovations through connected devices.

“This settlement not only confirms the applicability of our technology in the smart home security sector but also opens new possibilities for collaboration and licensing in the broader IoT industry,” said Jordi Ilario, COO of Fractus.

Fractus is inviting companies in the IoT industry to explore licensing opportunities for its antenna technology.

Fractus was represented by law firm Susman Godfrey (www.susmangodfrey.com) throughout this litigation process. The resolution of this dispute not only marks a positive step forward for Fractus but also signals an opportunity for competitors to embrace its technology through licensing agreements.
