TA Operating LLC (Westlake, OH) has sued Cascades Branding Innovation, LLC (Northbrook, IL) and N99 LLC (Boston, MA) for a declaratory judgment that Patent No. 7,768,395 (directed to “Brand Mapping”) is invalid. N99 is the patent owner, Cascades is the exclusive licensee. Cascades had contacted TA to notify TA of infringement, to make a license offer, and to notify TA of other actions asserting Cascades’ patent rights. TA decided to strike first.
