Whirlpool: Court expands patent ruling over LG - Yahoo! New Zealand Finance
BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Appliance maker Whirlpool Corp. said Friday that a court had expanded a jury decision that said LG Electronics had infringed on Whirlepool's In-Door-Ice patented technology for refrigerators. The new ruling by a Delaware district court said the earlier decision also applies to French door models made by LG and also said that LG refrigerators infringe on a second Whirlpool patent on strengthened refrigerator cabinets.
