On March 10, 2011, the District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan granted our motion for JMOL in favor of our client, 3D Systems, Inc. The decision reversed a jury verdict of noninfringement on 3D Systems’ U.S. Pat. No. 5,660,981, a pioneering patent covering rapid prototyping methods. The decision further denied Envisiontec’s concurrent JMOL motion and affirmed there was substantial evidence supporting the jury’s verdict of infringement as to another 3D Systems patent in the case, U.S. Pat. No. 6,651,934.
With the JMOL order, both of Envisiontec’s Perfactory and Vanquish line of rapid prototyping machines have been found to infringe the ‘981 Patent, while the Vanquish line has also been found to infringe the ‘934 Patent.
