Dow Chemical was awarded $61.7 million in a patent infringement lawsuit against Nova Chemicals Corp. of Canada.
A judge in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware ruled in Dow’s favor after a jury found that Nova Chemicals Corp. infringed on two patents related to strong plastics. Nova Chemical Corp. countered that the patents were invalid due to missing data.
The suit was initially fined in 2005. The final ruling was signed on May 20, 2010.
