PITTSBURGH – A Bethel Park company is alleged to have infringed a Wisconsin company's patents.
Barthel LLC filed a complaint on Feb. 27 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against Instrumentation Industries Inc. alleging patent infringement.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff is the owner of a patent regarding an apparatus for a breathing tube and method used for delivering aerosol medications.
The plaintiff holds Instrumentation Industries Inc. responsible because the defendant allegedly manufactured and sold its RTC-24-V adapters for a counter metered-dose canister, a product that infringes at least one claim of plaintiff's '864 patent.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks accounting and award damages to the plaintiff, temporary restraining order against the defendant enjoining them from further infringing plaintiff's patent, court costs and any further relief the court grants.
They are represented by David G. Oberdick and Michael G. Monyok of Meyer, Unkovic & Scott LLP in Pittsburgh and Joel B. Rothman of Schneider Rothman Intellectual Property Group PLLC in Boca Raton, Florida.
