PlasmaCAM, Inc. (“Plasmacam”) sued CNCElectron- ics, LLC, Fourhills Designs, LLC, and Thomas and Martha Caudle (collectively “CNC”) in the Eastern District of Texas for infringing U.S. Patent No. 7,071,441 (“the ’441 patent”) for which Plasmacam has an exclusive license . In Decem- ber 2019, the parties notified the district court that they had settled the case . However, when the parties met to draft a formal agreement, it became evident that they in- terpreted the settlement differently, and further negotia- tions resulted.
