Recently United States District Court for Eastern California dismissed the last claim of Aspex Eyewear's lawsuit against VSP Vision Care, acccording to a VSP press release. The federal court's ruling also affirmed the right of VSP Global and its companies to refuse to conduct business with companies who are suing them. The court found no merit to Aspex Eyewear's remaining claim of breach of contract. Earlier this year, Aspex Eyewear withdrew the antitrust and other claims that were included in the lawsuit against VSP.
This is reportedly the latest in a series of favorable court decisions for VSP Global and its companies. In November, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida dismissed Aspex Eyewear's entire patent infringement lawsuit filed against Marchon® Eyewear. Earlier in the year, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a non-final decision invalidating the sole remaining patent claim in Aspex's lawsuit against Altair. Aspex Eyewear has filed appeals with the United States Court of Appeals in both the California and Florida cases.
VSP Global provides more than 55 million opticians and eye care professionals (ECPs) access to frame styles and brands, design of custom interiors and merchandising systems, e-commerce and practice management solutions, and lab services.
