Jury Awards $4 Million in Chervon’s Favor Over Lawn Mower Patent Dispute Against Techtronic

A jury in Delaware federal court has concluded that Techtronic Industries Co. Ltd., a power equipment company, has willfully infringed on five lawnmower patents held by their China-based competitor, Chervon (HK) Ltd. In the verdict, the jury rejected Techtronic’s challenge to the validity of these patents and awarded Chervon nearly $4 million as a reasonable royalty. However, the jury stopped short of awarding damages for lost profits or price erosion. The case highlights the continuing complexity and contentious nature of patent litigation within the competitive landscape of power equipment manufacturing.
