Howrey, LLP

HOWREY WINS FOR EFI
Howrey LLP’s Irvine-based patent litigation team has obtained a complete victory for long-time client EFI and its VUTEk printer division in defense of a patent lawsuit brought by Legget & Platt.

Judge Perry of the Eastern District of Missouri entered a summary judgment in VUTEk’s favor finding that all claims of Legget & Platt's asserted patent were invalid for anticipation and/or obviousness. Judge Perry also ruled, contrary to a prior Markman ruling, that all claims of the patent were invalid for indefiniteness.

This win represents an additional business victory for VUTEk, which recently released its next generation of two and three meter wide format printers. Legget & Platt added these printers to the lawsuit last month in hopes of a permanent injunction at a trial, to be set for early March. At the time the summary judgment motions were filed, VUTEk was starting the very costly process of having to redesign its ink curing systems to avoid the impact of an injunction that would have required retrofitting hundreds of installed printers and would have halted hundreds of millions of dollars of new revenue. With this victory, that issue is now moot.

The Howrey Irvine team was led by Russ Hill and Bill Rooklidge, and included Greg Cordrey, Michael Stimson, Jesse Mulholland, Jennifer Bogosy, Vince Cangolosi, Alyson Barker, Mansi Shah, Evy Wild, Serap Karaman-Stothers, Nancy Chan, Sandra Wilson, Emilie Soriano, Carol Fallon, Jennifer Coulson, Shawn Beem, Mary Gruber, KC Rosello and Genevieve Ramirez.

EFI is a world leader in printing technology. The company provides products, services and support to handle all businesses’ printing needs. Headquartered in Foster City, CA, with 23 worldwide offices, EFI’s award-winning, innovative technologies increase the productivity and profitability of commercial and enterprise printing.

EFI’s VUTEk® reliable superwide digital inkjet printers have a reputation for speed, high productivity and exceptional color quality and print on a variety of substrates. Its extensive line of high-quality inks are known for purity consistency and durability.
