• Client: Kent State University, Kent Research Corp.' and Kent Display Systems, Inc.
• Date: 2000
• Location: Federal Circuit Court of Appeals

Summary:

Schiff Hardin was retained in this patent infringement matter to appeal a judgment, entered after a jury trial, holding that our client's patent for liquid crystal display devices was invalid and not infringed.

We prevailed before the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and, on retrial, obtained a jury verdict that the patent was enforceable, valid, and willfully infringed. The trial court sustained those findings and awarded our client attorneys' fees.
