The U.S. District Court of Massachusetts has ruled in favor of Genlyte Thomas Group LLC, a subsidiary of The Genlyte Group Inc., in a patent infringement suit against Arch Lighting Group Inc. and its Arch Lighting Systems division. A jury decided that a line of Taunton, Mass.-based Arch Lighting Systems' hospital-room lighting products infringed on one of Genlyte Thomas Group's patents, according to a news release from Louisville-based Genlyte (NASDAQ: GLYT), which manufactures lighting fixtures and related products for the commercial, industrial and residential markets. The court awarded damages of $238,000 and required Arch Lighting Systems to pay Genlyte a per-fixture royalty of $67 for every product sold since Sept. 30, 2006.
