Patent Litigation Settlement by Jury Decision

September 21st, 2007 · No Comments

Outcomes for patent litigation lawsuits can vary greatly.  Patent law is a complex area of law that contains several factors that play a role when it comes to actually defending a patent.  There are cases where a settlement is based on a jury decision.  In May 2007, there was a case in the federal district court in Maryland that settled based on a jury decision.  It was a case between Invitrogen Corporation and Clontech Laboratories Inc.  The settlement included Clontech acknowledging that Invitrogen has a valid and enforceable patent.  Clontech, consequently, has ceased any sales of RNase H minus reverse transcriptase until Invitrogen’s patent on providing this substance expires.  Both of these companies deal with cultures that are used for drug protection and genetic research. 

Proving that a patent is valid and enforceable is a patent litigation plaintiff’s objective.  If you have a patent that you feel is being threatened, you need to speak directly to a patent litigation attorney.  Williams Kherkher has patent litigation lawyers on staff able to help with not only patents, but also copyright and trademark issues.  Do not wait.  Contact our firm at (866) 950-9000 to schedule a free consultation.
