Whirlpool: Judge grants stay in LG patent case - BusinessWeek

Whirlpool Corp. said on Friday that a judge has stayed a patent infringement lawsuit by LG Electronics over refrigerator patents. Whirlpool said a federal judge in Trenton, N.J., granted its motion to stay the case brought by LG for at least six months. Whirlpool said the judge's stay was prompted by a rejection of four LG patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
