Irvine, CA- April 18, 2023:   Rhema Law Group announces that it has won an Amazon Evaluator Express Program (“APEX”) utility patent infringement case in connection with U.S. Patent No. 10,272,847 (the “‘847 patent”) against JSAUX involving a mobile phone device cradle system.

The APEX program is a special Amazon program that allows a patent owner the opportunity to deal with products allegedly infringing a utility patent registration.  APEX uses a neutral third-party patent attorney skilled in patent analysis to evaluate whether a product sold on Amazon has infringed an utility patent.

“The APEX program gives U.S. utility patent owners a faster and less expensive way to resolve patent disputes on the Amazon U.S. Platform.  Although it’s limited to just taking down infringing product(s) on Amazon only, it offers Patent owners an alternative to expensive federal court litigation.”  says Partner & Registered Patent Attorney John D. Tran.  

As part of the APEX case involving the ‘847 patent, the firm submitted a detailed patent infringement opinion, including a patent claim chart which compared every element in the accused infringing product to claim 1 of the ‘847 patent.  The Accused Seller (JSAUX) submitted an opposition attempting to argue non-infringement.  However, after reviewing both parties’ briefs, Amazon’s neutral evaluator agreed with our firm’s analysis and arguments and found that the JSAUX Accused Product infringed claim 1 of the ‘847 patent.  Soon after, the infringing product was removed from sale on Amazon.

Rhema Law Group’s intellectual property and patent attorneys represent and help many Amazon sellers enforce their intellectual property rights on Amazon including claims involving trademarks, copyrights and patents.

“It’s great a feeling to help our Amazon seller clients successfully remove an infringing product from Amazon and knowing the next time someone clicks on the link to that infringing product, they see this image instead.”
