Akerman, on behalf of its client MOSO North America, Inc. and its parent, MOSO International B.V., secured a decisive legal victory in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The court ruled in their favor in a high-profile patent contempt case brought by Dasso International, Inc. and Easoon USA, LLC, clearing the way for MOSO to continue innovating and growing without legal obstruction.

Following a prior patent action, MOSO redesigned its thermally modified outdoor bamboo products. Two years after introducing these redesigned products, plaintiffs alleged infringement again and sought a contempt ruling, including treble damages, attorneys’ fees, and a ruling that the new products were covered by the injunction.

After a bench trial, the court found that MOSO’s redesigned Bamboo Thermo and Bamboo X-treme products, along with their manufacturing processes, do not infringe U.S. Patent 8,709,578. Consequently, the plaintiffs’ motion for contempt was denied.

MOSO North America remains a leader in sustainable building solutions and innovative bamboo products for construction and design. This ruling represents a significant milestone, enabling MOSO North America to confidently advance its mission of providing sustainable, high-quality bamboo building solutions.

The Akerman team representing MOSO in the dispute was led by Intellectual Property Partner Timothy Sendek and included Litigation Partner Evelina Gentry, Intellectual Property Partner Brian Lemon, and Litigation Associate David Bond.
