PTAB Rules for DMF in Patent Case Brought by Elco Lighting

DMF Lighting won a judgment from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which ruled in favor of the company in an inter partes review instituted at the request of AMP Plus, dba Elco Lighting, challenging the validity of DMF’s U.S. Patent No. 9,964,266. DMF has won several rulings against Elco in the Patent Office and district court stemming from Elco’s “improper copying of DMF’s patented DRD2 products,” DMF said Monday. The Patent Office decision recognizes the "innovative technology of the DRD2," said Chief Operating Officer Michael Danesh: "DMF invests heavily in research and development to create innovative solutions in lighting." Elco couldn’t be reached for comment.
