An #appeals court has given #Ford a huge #patent victory.
On Thursday, the quiet-but-important U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed a trial judge whose rulings had resulted in a $56 million patent infringement hit to the Ford Motor Co.. The trial judge, Illinois-based James B. Zagel, had determined in 2009 that Ford had willfully infringed on the "puddle lamp" patent of inventor Jacob Krippelz, Sr. A jury had awarded the Krippelz team $23 million, and the judge had added $33 million for enhanced damages and prejudgment interest.
The appellate court, in its 17-page ruling, declared that Zagel had "erred in holding that the patent-in-suit could be found novel over the prior art."

I'm glad that they have set things right. It is indeed unfair for the company to be lose in this case.

Fair solution, I hope that in future justice in our country will be the same.

I'm glad that the court delivered a great decision about this matter. There are really a lot of patent infringement issues arising today. It is also common among cellphone companies most especially Apple and Samsung.

Patent infringement insurance is generally considered too expensive to be worth it. The premiums must be high, however, due, at least in part, to the high legal costs of patent infringement cases. Patent infringement insurance is an insurance policy provided by one or more insurance companies to protect either an inventor or a third party from the risks of inadvertently infringing a patent.
