Cole Schotz attorneys Arjun Nair, Aaron Davidson, and Vishal Patel successfully represented PILOT, the Japanese pen manufacturer, in protecting its patented erasable ink technology. Through Amazon’s Patent Evaluation Express (APEX) program, the team secured the removal of allegedly infringing products from the marketplace without pursuing traditional litigation.

In World Intellectual Property Review (WIPR), the attorneys discussed their approach to the proceeding, the importance of clear technical evidence, and how businesses can leverage alternative enforcement methods to protect their intellectual property. They also emphasized the value of proactive patent strategies and the role of APEX in addressing online infringement.
