Slack Technologies Inc.’s lawsuit to clear its “emoji library” technology from potential patent infringement claims by Phoji Inc. was dismissed Thursday after a San Francisco federal court found Minneapolis-based Phoji didn’t have sufficient contacts with California to justify exercising jurisdiction over it.
Phoji makes an app that enables users to create “custom photo-based emojis,” which is covered by its U.S. Patent No. 9,565,149.
