According to the company’s own statement, it seems that the federal court of Alabama and the federal court of Massachusetts had ruled in favor of iRobot and found Robot FX guilty of having knowingly infringed on two iRobot patents and of having violated fair trade practices and destroyed evidence, respectively.

The United States’ Courts in Massachusetts and Alabama have both entered judgments in favor of iRobot, thus settling all disputes with Jameel Ahed, a former iRobot employee, and his own company, Robotic FX. Jameel Ahed was filed against two lawsuits in August, when iRobot accused him and his company of patent infringement and of trade misappropriation, respectively.

In the patent infringement lawsuit, the United States’ Court for the District of Northern Alabama ruled that Robotic FX had knowingly infringed on two iRobot patents, while in the other suit, the United States’ District Court for the District of Massachusetts decided that Jameel Ahed and his company misappropriated iRobot’s proprietary and confidential information, violated fair trade practices and destroyed evidence.

According to Burlington-based iRobot, Robotic FX was set to be dissolved and certain of its residual assets will be retained by iRobot. Jameel Ahed has been prohibited for five years from participating in any competitive activities in the robotics industry.
