Optical Cable (OCCF) Prevails In Major Patent Infringement Lawsuit
Optical Cable Corporation (Nasdaq: OCCF) announced that Applied Optical Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of OCC, has prevailed in a major patent infringement lawsuit brought in November 2006, by Amphenol Fiber Systems Internationa, a subsidiary of Amphenol Corporation (NYSE: APH). OCC acquired AOS on October 31, 2009, as previously announced.
The jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas unanimously determined, that an AOS fiber-optic connector design does not infringe on FSI's U.S. Patent 6,305,849. The jury decision follows an earlier U.S. District Court ruling, which similarly found that two other AOS fiber-optic connector designs do not infringe on the patent as a matter of law. The result marks a complete verdict in favor of AOS, the defendant in the lawsuit.
