Kohl's Corp. and the manufacturer of a barbecue brush sold at Kohl's Department Stores have agreed to pay $11,700 to settle a lawsuit brought by a Hong Kong firm that claimed the brushes infringed on a patent. Merry Chance Industries Ltd. in November 2006 sued Menomonee Falls-based Kohl's, as well as DLR Products Inc. of California, and National Broom Co. of California, which does business as JLR Gear, in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan in Grand Rapids. Merry Chance Industries filed an acceptance of the settlement offer from Kohl's and the other defendants on April 5.
