On January 7, 2021, the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a December 2019 U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina decision in the matter of ImageQuix LLC v. Snapizzi Inc, in which the Federal Circuit found Snapizzi’s image tagging technology patent invalid.
ImageQuix filed the patent infringement lawsuit in November 2018 after the software company was contacted by Snapizzi demanding ImageQuix purchase a license to include a tagging feature in the company’s new photography workflow software.
