OTTAWA, Ontario—Standard Innovation Corporation, the manufacturer of the We-Vibe family of sexual wellness products, is continuing its legal fight against LELO Inc.
Company officials said certain LELO products including the Tiani, Tiani 2 and Mahana are the subject of an investigation by the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) to determine whether the devices infringe more than 70 claims of Standard Innovation’s U.S. Patent No. 7,931,605.
A trial at the ITC took place in Washington, D.C., Aug. 21-24 and was attended by representatives of Standard Innovation and one of LELO's top executives. Standard Innovation officials were extremely pleased with strength of the evidence presented at trial supporting infringement and the validity of its patent and looks forward to a favorable determination by the ITC. An initial decision is due in January 2013.
In addition to the ITC investigation, actions for patent infringement against LELO and other parties that sell and distribute its products accused of infringement remain ongoing in Canada, as well as in the United States District Court.
Standard Innovation will continue to vigorously pursue legal actions against those parties who attempt to market and sell products that are alleged to infringe its valuable intellectual property rights.
