Share this page:

On December 9, 2016, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in a per curiuam decision affirming the determination of the International Trade Commission, which found no violation of Section 337 as to certain outdoor grill products that had been accused of infringement of a patent owned by A&J Manufacturing. A&J Manufacturing was the complainant in the underlying ITC investigation (337-TA-895). Outdoor Leisure Products was named as a respondent in that investigation, and A&J Manufacturing had sought to have Outdoor Leisure Products’ grills excluded from importation into the United States. During the investigation, the Commission was persuaded that redesigned grills made by Outdoor Leisure Products did not infringe A&J Manufacturing’s patent. A&J appealed that decision to the Federal Circuit, and Outdoor Leisure Products intervened in the Federal Circuit proceeding in support of the Commission. Outdoor Leisure Products is represented by Michael Dzwonczyk, Mark Boland, and Brian Shelton of Sughrue Mion. The Federal Circuit decision is A&J Manufacturing LLC v. U.S. International Trade Commission, No. 2015-1494.
