Court Denies Preliminary Injunction on Infringing Product
The U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland denied a preliminary injunction against a product, even though, the court found it to infringe in Serio-US Indus., Inc. v. Plastic Recovery Techs. Corp., 2003 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 10074 (D.Md. June 5, 2003). Serio-US held a patent on an automatic dumpster lock and wanted to enjoin Plastic Recovery from showing an allegedly infringing prototype at a trade show.
