Konami Gaming has reached a settlement agreement resolving pending infringement litigation to enforce Konami’s Action Stacked Symbols patents against various Cadillac Jack products.
“We routinely enforce our rights against anyone we believe is infringing our intellectual property. In particular, Action Stacked Symbols represent a key piece of Konami’s IP portfolio,” explained Steve Sutherland, chief operating officer and executive vice president at Konami.
Cadillac Jack was cooperative after receiving notice that the litigation was filed and the two companies embarked on a process of information sharing to determine whether, and to what extent, Cadillac Jack’s products utilised technologies that touched on Konami’s patents.
“At Cadillac Jack, we pride ourselves on our innovative technologies and unique content, said Mauro Franic, Cadillac Jack’s chief operating officer. “When we heard of Konami’s concerns, we were eager to collaborate with Konami to further differentiate our technologies from Konami’s patents. We appreciate their professionalism throughout the process.”
