(NEW YORK, NY) – A nearly three-week, patent infringement trial in federal court in New York City has resulted in a $4million-plus award for Hypoxico, Inc. against Colorado Altitude Training LLC (CAT).
A jury found that all of CAT’s tent and room systems designed for simulated altitude training infringed on Hypoxico’s patent. In addition, they also determined that CAT’s founder and president, Lawrence Kutt, was personally liable along with CAT for the infringement.
“This is a complete vindication of what we have been saying all along,” says Hypoxico president Gary Kotliar. “CAT ripped off our patented technology. Period. End of story.”
“It’s a complete about-face,” agrees Cohen Pontani Lieberman & Pavane Managing Partner Martin Pavane, “especially given that CAT originally had charged Mr. Kotliar with infringing a patent that CAT had licensed from a Scandinavian company. The jury found that that patent had not been infringed and determined instead that CAT was the infringer.”
Hypoxico and Mr. Kotliar were represented by CPLP attorneys Martin Pavane and Roger Thompson.
