Discontinuation of patent infringement litigation means that in patent infringement litigation, the defendant filed a invalidation procedure against the plaintiff's patent and requested the court to suspend the patent infringement litigation in order to wait for the result of the invalidation procedure. If the plaintiff's patent is invalid, the plaintiff will lose the power base and the patent infringement lawsuit will not continue.
