American Standard Incorporated and American Standard International, Inc.
York International
Finnegan successfully defended York International in an action where American Standard alleged infringement of two patents, one on commercial air conditioner controls and the other on condensers. Trane claimed actual damages of approximately $122 million, together with prejudgment interest, a trebling of damages, attorneys fees, and an injunction. Had Trane fully prevailed in those claims, damages could have topped $400 million. The jury concluded that one of the Trane patents was not infringed, and that both patents were invalid. The court entered American Standard's post trial motion and granted York's fee request. After the court awarded York in excess of $1,500,000 in fees and costs, the case was settled.
