The Eighth Circuit Court has upheld a decision from a bench trial concerning a dispute over intellectual property related to the “Heat Machine,” a product supplied to Costco. The bench trial had previously found in favor of the supplier behind the “Heat Machine,” which was involved in a complex intellectual property case against the creators of the “HeatDish,” another product sold by Costco. This decision marks a significant moment in the ongoing legal battle between the two parties. The involved parties were competing in the market for similar heating products, which had sparked the intellectual property dispute.
