Update on Patent Infringement
Further to the Company's announcement on 18 July 2023, CAP-XX Limited, a world leader in the design and manufacture of supercapacitors and energy management systems, announces the following update on its existing patent infringement action against Maxwell Technologies Inc. ("Maxwell"), now a wholly owned subsidiary of Tesla Inc. ("Tesla").
On 15 December 2023, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware in the case of CAP-XX vs Maxwell (C.A. No. 19-1733-JLH), the jury has affirmed that CAP-XX patents were invalid and as a result Maxwell does not infringe the nominated CAP-XX patents and Maxwell is not liable to pay CAP-XX damages nor license fees.
Whilst CAP-XX is disappointed with this decision, it is in discussions with its attorneys to agree the appropriate next steps. While the Company cannot comment further at this time, we will provide an update in due course. Meanwhile, the Company looks forward to proceeding with its current product range, supported by a strong portfolio of current IP, to focus on the key short-term actions to maximise sales and deliver profitability.
