Artesyn Defends Majority of Patent Claims Against Power-One
Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), announced that its recently acquired Artesyn Technologies successfully defended the majority of a competitor's claims of patent infringement.
In a suit filed in Marshall, Texas, Power-One, Inc. alleged that Artesyn infringed 82 separate claims in four of its patents. Yesterday, a Texas jury found that only one patent was infringed involving a product that Artesyn had never sold, never offered for sale and that the market has never used. Some claims were dismissed before the trial. On others, the jury determined there was no infringement.
The jury specifically determined that any infringement was not willful. If the court enters judgment on the verdict, a total of $100 in damages will be awarded to Power-One. The verdict will not have any impact on Artesyn's sales, technologies or products.
