CrakRevenue WINS APPEAL in PATENT FIGHT Against Essociate
On Friday, March 11, 2016, the US Federal Circuit unanimously affirmed U.S. District Judge James V. Selna?s ruling confirming the unpatentability and invalidity of Essociate?s patent.
Last February, the parent company of CrakRevenue won the first round of a hard-fought patent battle filed by Essociate, Inc. Essociate claimed the company was infringing on their patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,804,660. Their patent described a method and system for configuring an existing affiliate network to receive ?virtual affiliates? from an affiliate pooling network. Essociate has used its patent to sue more than 20 companies in the affiliate networking space for infringing on the ?660 patent.
