FireBlok IP Holdings, LLC, sued Hilti, Inc., for patent infringement, claiming that Hilti’s Firestop Box Insert (“Insert”) infringed FireBlok’s U.S. Patent No. 6,252,167. See Docket No. 1. Hilti countered that it was protected under a license between Intumescent Technologies, LLC, FireBlok’s predecessor-in-interest, and RectorSeal, LLC, Hilti’s purported sole supplier.
