North Carolina’s Abusive Patent Assertion Act Keeps Popping Up

June 9, 2025

Honeywell has responded to an April 2025 complaint filed against it in the Eastern District of Texas by Patent Armory Inc. with a new complaint in the Western District of North Carolina (3:25-cv-00375). There, Honeywell seeks declaratory judgments of noninfringement of the five patents that Patent Armory has asserted against it, Honeywell additionally pleading a violation of the North Carolina Abusive Patent Assertion Act (APAA). Honeywell notes that Patent Armory made a quick $95K settlement demand, pleading on information and belief that “Patent Armory knows that litigating the Texas Lawsuit as well as any of the Patent Armory Serial Lawsuits would cost substantially more than $95,000”.
