A joint declaration and order was filed in which three claims of patent infringement in the intellectual property case being contested between San Francisco, CA transport company Uber Technologies and Waymo were dropped, which Google-Owner Alphabet Ink One of the subsidiary companies was. This case is one of the latest filing, which has recorded hundreds of documents since it began this February. This case has been registered in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
Patents that are no longer giving any emphasis include:
Patent no. – US8836922
Title “Devices and methods for a rotating LIDAR platform with a shared transmit/receive path” A LIDAR device may transmit light pulses originating from one or more light sources and may receive reflected light pulses that are then detected by one or more detectors. The LIDAR device may include a lens that both (i) collimates the light from the one or more light sources to provide collimated light for transmission into an environment of the LIDAR device and (ii) focuses the reflected light onto the one or more detectors. The lens may define a curved focal surface in a transmit path of the light from the one or more light sources and a curved focal surface in a receive path of the one or more detectors. The one or more light sources may be arranged along the curved focal surface in the transmit path. The one or more detectors may be arranged along the curved focal surface in the receive path.
Patent no.-US9285464

Patent no. – US9086273
Title “Microrod compression of laser beam in combination with transmit lens” A LIDAR device may transmit light pulses originating from one or more light sources and may receive reflected light pulses that are detected by one or more detectors. The LIDAR device may include a lens that both (i) collimates the light from the one or more light sources to provide collimated light for transmission into an environment of the LIDAR device and (ii) focuses the reflected light onto the one or more detectors. Each light source may include a respective laser diode and cylindrical lens. The laser diode may emit an uncollimated laser beam that diverges more in a first direction than in a second direction. The cylindrical lens may pre-collimate the uncollimated laser beam in the first direction to provide a partially collimated laser that diverges more in the second direction than in the first direction.
In court
The order to dismiss these patents has come two months later that the federal judge who decides the matter entered into a proposal for a summary judgment of the non-violation of the three patents which the voicemail rejected. In that proposal, ND. Cal. The judge noted that the patents claim a LIDAR device in which a single, normal lens is required for transmission and transmission of light. In Uber’s Fuji Leader design, however, there are two optical vents, not a single lens. Uber’s Spider Device, which used to rely on the normal lens, was “in anticipation of the complexity of design, the expected difficulty of scaling in the design of the design and its large size, heavy weight, and high power,” in October 2016 Reads. “As Uber did not ever produce all the components needed for a functional prototype, very few full-fledged leader devices, Spider was never made, used, sold, sold, or imported Was … Uber cannot be infringed by designing the device that can never show an act of violation of Waymo, and the summary decision should therefore be given.
Other forth patent dismissed
the case between Waymo and Uber have noted that , the order to dismiss patent claims dismissed three of the pour patents asserted against Uber and it’s not clear from the recent order that the fourth patent has been dismissed.
Patent no. – US 9368936
Title “Laser diode firing system” A laser diode firing circuit for a light detection and ranging device is disclosed. The firing circuit includes a laser diode coupled in series to a transistor, such that current through the laser diode is controlled by the transistor. The laser diode is configured to emit a pulse of light in response to current flowing through the laser diode. The firing circuit includes a capacitor that is configured to charge via a charging path that includes an inductor and to discharge via a discharge path that includes the laser diode. The transistor controlling current through the laser diode can be a Gallium nitride field effect transistor.”
Conclusion
In this written form, the most recent of 843 documents filed in this case, there is an administrative proposal to file under the seal by Otto Trucking, after the departure of Waymo the self-invoice truck launched by Levandowski; Uber could reach Austro $ 680 million according to a report by Reuters in August 2016. In the proposal to file under the seal, Otto is requesting the court that he is highly confidential to allow a declaration with the transcription of information along with the Waymo and it is only in the case of Otto for the attorney’s eyes It has been written that radioactive information involves confidential information on the company’s business agreements and corporate structure, which can help competitors if it is public Be went provided.
