Finds that Fitbit Did Not Misappropriate
Jawbone Trade Secrets
Decision Follows Earlier Termination of
Investigation into Claims of Patent Infringement
Fitbit, Inc. (NYSE:FIT) today announced that the International
Trade Commission (“ITC” or “the Commission”) issued an initial
determination in favor of Fitbit in ITC Investigation No.
337-TA-963 brought by Jawbone. The Administrative Law Judge who
presided over the merits hearing concluded that Fitbit did not
misappropriate any Jawbone trade secrets. This determination
followed earlier decisions that eliminated from this investigation
all six of the Jawbone patents asserted against Fitbit.
“We are pleased with the ITC’s initial determination rejecting
Jawbone’s trade secret claims,” said James Park, CEO and Co-Founder
of Fitbit. “We greatly appreciate the ALJ’s time and diligent work
on this case. From the outset of this litigation, we have
maintained that Jawbone’s allegations were utterly without merit
and nothing more than a desperate attempt by Jawbone to disrupt
Fitbit’s momentum to compensate for their own lack of success in
the market. Our customers can be assured that we remain fully
committed to creating innovative products that consumers love, and
that we are excited about the pipeline of new products coming out
this year.”
