A Texas federal court has affirmed a $27 million trial award to Whirlpool, deciding that the sum, together with a permanent injunction against two Chinese firms, sufficiently compensates the company. The judgment addresses the infringement on the exterior design of Whirlpool’s well-known KitchenAid stand mixer. The order comes after Whirlpool sought a higher financial recompense, which the court ultimately found unnecessary. More on the court’s ruling can be found in the coverage by Law360.
