Ford must face MIT engine patent lawsuit again – U.S. appeals court – Reuters.com

(Reuters) - A Delaware court should not have ruled for Ford Motor Co in a case brought by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors who argued the carmaker violated their patents on a fuel-management system for car engines, a U.S. appeals court said Monday.

The lower court misinterpreted parts of the patents in a decision that led to the university dropping the case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said.

The parties and their attorneys did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
