Brita Brings ITC Filter Patent Row To Federal Circuit

Director Paul A. Ainsworth was mentioned as representing Brita in the article “Brita Brings ITC Filter Patent Row To Federal Circuit,” published by Law360. The following is an excerpt from the article:

“The Clorox Co.’s Brita brand has urged the Federal Circuit to overturn a decision that found it failed to show that language in a patent covering the brand’s “gravity flow” filter was specific enough to earn legal protection.

In a Friday opening brief at the circuit court, Brita LP fought back against a U.S. International Trade Commission’s reversal of the company’s initial win in front of a commission judge involving imports from a trio of rival water filter manufacturers.”
