Tenth Circuit Court Rules Against Energera in Patent Lawsuit Breach

The Tenth Circuit court has upheld a finding that Energera, a Colorado-based oil field equipment supplier, breached a covenant regarding patent infringement lawsuits. Energera had previously agreed not to initiate further legal actions against Fuel Automation’s future clientele. However, Energera proceeded to file suits over “related” patents. This decision was supported by “basic logic” as well as “ordinary grammar,” according to the court’s reasoning.
