Judge dismisses FutureLogic suit against Nanoptix

November 14, 2011

Nanoptix Inc. has come out victorious in a November 2010 patent infringement lawsuit filed against it by FutureLogic.

FutureLogic alleged that Nanoptix's PayCheck printers infringed FutureLogic's U.S. Patent No. 7,594,855, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Gaming Promotional Printer." The Court ruled in favor of Nanoptix Nov. 2, 2011, finding on summary judgment that the patent was invalid, according to a Nanoptix press release.

"We are very pleased with the Court's ruling and to see the end of this long process. Having won this important victory, we can now continue doing what we do best: taking care of our valued customers by providing them the best service in the industry with the best technology," Nanoptix President and CEO Daniel Vienneau said in the release.

The patent generally relates to a promotional printer with two ports, one for receiving coupon data and one for receiving voucher data.

The PayCheck 4 thermal printer, which is marketed and sold as a JCM Global product, was recently named to the "Best Consumer Service Technology" list in Global Gaming Business Magazine's 10th annual Gaming & Technology Awards.
