McAndrews secured a complete victory for its client Fibar USA LLC when on June 27, 2019 Pinek IP LLC dismissed its lawsuit against Fibar in the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division. Chicago-based Fibar is a unit of wireless smart home and home automation company Fibar Group S.A. based in Poland, and Pinek is a patent holding firm based in Plano, Texas.
Pinek had alleged that Fibar infringed its U.S. Patent No. 7,233,256, which is titled “A System and Method for Receiving a Signal to Trigger a Pyroelectric Activation System.”
