Federal Circuit Revives Patent Dispute in LED Lighting Industry

A patent dispute between LED lighting companies has been revived by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The case, originally dismissed by a Los Angeles judge, involved a small Utah-based company claiming to have developed innovative LED lights. The Federal Circuit’s decision came after they determined the lower court had used an “improper construction” of key terms, which previously allowed another company, dealing in light bulb sales, to exit the litigation. This recent turn of events keeps the Utah company’s patent lawsuit active. For more details on this legal development, the original article is available at Law360.
