Asetek Receives Award of $600K after Patent Infringement Lawsuit

Asetek today announced that it has received payment of approximately $600

thousand as awarded in a patent infringement lawsuit against CMI USA, Inc.

In December 2014, the U.S. District Court unanimously ruled in favor of Asetek

on all claims in a patent infringement lawsuit against CMI USA, Inc. ("CMI")

involving Asetek's U.S. Patents 8,240,362 and 8,245,764. The jury awarded Asetek

damages representing a 14.5% royalty on CMI's infringing sales since 2012. After

an appeal by CMI, the Federal Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued an opinion in

April 2017 affirming the prior rulings regarding infringement, validity, damages

and injunction against CMI. Payment from CMI of approximately $600 thousand,

including interest, was received by Asetek today.

"This award signifies another successful defense of Asetek's intellectual

property," said André Sloth Eriksen, founder and CEO of Asetek. "As part of

efforts to build and maintain market share, we closely review and assess all

competitive offerings for infringement of our patents. We are pleased with our

success in defending them."
