In a 37-page order released Sept. 26, U.S. District Judge Julie E. Carnes said that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Margaret H. Murphy had erred in embracing a characterization of Weyerhaeuser as a “bad actor” in the case, which sprang from the 1998 bankruptcy of Norcross-based Paragon Trade Brands Inc. Paragon, which manufactured generic brand disposable diapers, was established as a division of Weyerhaeuser. In 1993, Weyerhaeuser took Paragon public, making more than $200 million from the initial public offering of Paragon stock. But five years later, after losing two patent infringement suits associated with its line of baby diapers, Paragon filed for bankruptcy. It then sued Weyerhaeuser, claiming that Weyerhaeuser executives had saddled Paragon with diaper patents that infringed patents registered by Kimberly-Clark Corp. (which makes Huggies) and Procter & Gamble (which makes Pampers.) Posted by GEN-ERIC at 12:41:22 am into the following categories: In The News10/02/07

An eastern China court has ordered a French electrical company to pay 330 million yuan (44 million dollars) for infringing the copyright of a Chinese enterprise, a company official and state press said Sunday. In a Saturday ruling, the Wenzhou intermediate court in Zhejiang province ordered Schneider Electric to pay 330 million yuan in compensation to the Chint Group for patent infringement of its low-voltage elecrtical equipment, the Beijing News reported. The amount of compensation is believed to be the highest in China in an intellectual property rights case, the paper said. "We absolutely disagree with this decision, it is absolutely unreasonable," Guy Dufraisse, director of China operations for Schneider Electric told AFP. "Schneider Electric is a world leader in this technology, we will appeal this decision immediately to the Zhejiang high court."
