Re: Notification Dear Mr. Lary:
I am writing on behalf of our client, Asylon, Inc. (“Asylon”), which is the legal owner of multiple issued U.S. patents and U.S. patent applications including U.S. Pats. 11,318,859; 9,969,285; 9,783,075 and U.S. Pat. Pubs. 2022/0227253; 2021/0284335; 2023/0023246 and other pending patent applications (collectively “Patents”). In particular, copies of U.S. Pat. 11,318,859 and U.S. Pat. Pub. 2022/0227253 are attached herewith for your reference.
Asylon develops technologies relating to unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAV”) and various systems relating to UAVs. Our client is pursuing the Patents to protect its extensive investment and time spent developing these technologies. You can further review Asylon’s technology at https://asylonrobotics.com/.
It has come to our attention that Hextronics LLC (“Hextronics”) is employing technologies which appear to be covered in the Patents. In particular, the Hextronics Universal CS product incorporates features which appear to be covered in the Patents, as evidenced by the technical specifications (https://www.hextronics.tech/the-universal) as well as video showing the operation of the Hextronics Universal CS product posted to social media (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/c3-drones-and-robotics_hextronics- universal-c-c3-drones-and-robotics-ugcPost-7122717698551074817- gghZ/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios).
Of course, other technologies offered by Hextronics may also be covered by the Patents and this notification is not intended to be limiting in any way to any rights of Asylon.
Hextronics LLC January 23, 2024
With respect to patent publications owned by Asylon, provisional rights are available to Asylon under 35 U.S.C. §154(d) for published patent applications for the purpose of seeking damages from any person who makes, uses, offers for sale, sells, or imports in the United States any invention as claimed in a published patent application from a date beginning on the date of publication of the Patents.
Furthermore, enhanced damages of up to three times the amount found or assessed by a court could be available to Asylon if any infringement is found to be willful or intentional under 35 U.S.C. §284.
Nothing contained in this letter should be considered as a waiver of any rights and claims of Asylon. We hereby reserve all such rights and remedies under both law and equity. Moreover, this letter is not intended to be an exhaustive recitation of our client’s rights and/or claims including, without limitation, seeking damages and penalties.
Therefore, if Hextronics is interested in developing a business relationship with Asylon and incorporating Asylon technology into Hextronics’s products, we request that Hextronics contact us within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter.
