Baker Botts recently delivered a series of decisive wins for clients Manticore Fuels and Permian Global, a leading provider of diesel and fueling solutions for oilfield operators, in high-stakes patent litigation before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. After being sued for patent infringement by Fuel Automation Station in 2022, Baker Botts swiftly filed three inter partes review (IPR) petitions in 2023. In February 2025, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ruled in favor of Manticore and Permian, declaring all claims in the three asserted patents unpatentable based on prior art. The federal court has stayed the parallel litigation pending any appeal. This outcome highlights Baker Botts’ exceptional track record and strategic expertise in navigating complex PTAB proceedings. “We are proud to have achieved this win for our clients and appreciate their trust in our team,” the firm stated.
