In a landmark ruling in May 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit delivered a game-changing decision in the case of Snaprays (SnapPower) v. Light Defense Group (LDG). This judgment fundamentally altered the landscape for patent holders seeking to assert their rights through external platforms such as Amazon. The CAFC's decision overturned a lower court's dismissal of a declaratory judgment lawsuit, asserting that a patent holder's participation in Amazon's Patent Evaluation Express (APEX) initiative could subject them to legal jurisdiction in an unforeseen jurisdiction. This ruling sets a significant precedent in the realm of patent enforcement through third-party channels.
