Fisher-Price v. Safety 1st (Fed. Cir. 2004) (not citable as precedent)
Fisher-Price is the assignee of several patents on baby items, such as carriers, strollers and bassinets. (e.g., U.S. Patent No. 6,274,755). Fisher-Price sued Safety 1st for infringement and won a jury trial. The district court denied Safety 1st’s JMOL motion on validity, infringement, and the period of damage recovery. Safety 1st appealed.
The Federal Circuit affirmed, finding that the patents were valid and infringed. Ironically, the only modification to the district court’s order was to expand the scope of damages in Fisher-Price’s favor.
