Patent victories for JCM, Bally
JCM and Bally Technologies have both been victorious in patent infringement cases at US federal courts.
In the JCM case, a federal district court judge upheld the verdict delivered by a Las Vegas jury in January that found MEI’s CashFlow SC series of bill acceptors had infringed patent protection on JCM’s removable stacker mechanism.
The judge awarded JCM a further $845,000 in interest on the $11.4m already awarded by the jury, and issued a permanent injunction that prevents MEI making or selling products using JCM’s patent-protected design.
Separately, the US Court of Appeals affirmed a decision reached by a Nevada federal district court which held that certain Bally Wheel and iView products did not breach IGT patents. Bally’s anti-trust claims against IGT remain to be heard in court.
