A Michigan federal judge has permanently barred Ford Motor Co. from using the name of InterMotive, a California tech company’s vehicle control module. This decision follows a jury verdict last year that awarded more than $13 million to InterMotive for infringement by Ford. The ruling marks a significant development in the prolonged legal battle between the two companies, underscoring the critical importance of protecting intellectual property rights in the tech and automotive industries.
