Preliminary Injunction Granted in Quantronix Patent Case
The District Court of Minnesota granted a preliminary injunction based on patent infringement in Quantronix, Inc. v. Data Trak Technologies, Inc., 2007 WL 2249133 (D. Minn. 8/1/07).
Quantronix holds 3 patents for technologies to measure and weigh packages. In the industry, this is referred to as "dimensioning." These technologies help companies quickly and accurately measure the size and weight of packages. Data Trak is a competing firm that sells a dimensioning device which Quantronix claims incorporates its patented technologies. The district court agreed and granted the preliminary injunction but did require a bond.
