Beaumont jury verdict in patent case

By Michael Smith

Another Eastern District jury returned a verdict in a patent case last week, this time in the Pressure Products Medical Supplies v. Quan Emerteq Corp. case, 2:09cv121.  The Beaumont jury in Judge Clark's court (passing on a Lufkin case tried in Beaumont) found that both of the products infringed all of the asserted claims, but that none of the infringement was willful.  The jury found that the defendant had failed to show by clear and convincing evidence that any of the asserted claims were invalid as obvious or anticipated, and assessed damages at $1.1 million.
Judge Clark has already set the hearing on the post-trial motions for July 31.
