Perkins Coie Mentioned in The Patent Lawyer Magazine—WDTX Jury Awards $14M in Damages for Infringement of Three LED Patents and Finds Infringement Willful

Perkins Coie was mentioned in "Perkins Coie Report: WDTX Jury Awards $14M in Damages for Infringement of Three LED Patents and Finds Infringement Willful," an article in The Patent Lawyer Magazine, regarding the firm's representation in a recent patent infringement verdict win.

A jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, recently rendered an over $14 million patent infringement verdict in favor of light emitting diode (LED) manufacturer Jiaxing Super Lighting and its United States-based subsidiary Obert Inc. against their competitors CH Lighting and CH subsidiary Shaoxing Ruising Lighting, as well as Texas-based distributor Elliott Electric Supply Inc. The defendants admitted prior to trial that two of the three patents in suit were infringed and that some products infringed the third. Indeed, the jury ruled in Super Lighting's favor on nearly all remaining issues, finding that the third patent was infringed on by the remaining products, that all three patents were valid, that CH Lighting and Ruising's infringement (but not Elliott's) was willful, and awarding Super Lighting's requested damages.
