Judge Validates Jury Verdict, which Found Water Out Drying Corporation of NJ Violated ThermaPure Patent for Sanitizing Structures Using Heat
The U.S. District Court in Marshall, Texas has upheld a jury verdict finding that U.S. Patent (No. 6,327,812), owned by California-based ThermaPure®, is valid and has been infringed by New Jersey-based Water Out Drying Corporation.
The case was tried to a jury in March 2009 before United States Magistrate Judge Charles Everingham IV. The jury found Thermapure’s patent valid and infringed. On November 13, 2009, the Court denied Water Out’s attempt to overturn the verdict and granted Thermapure’s motion to set a new trial solely on the issue of damages. Jury selection for the damages trial is set to begin on March 1, 2010. The damages by the time of trial are estimated to be more than $17 million.
