Ford settles out of court on hybrid technology patent case
Ursula Zerilli
Automotive News -- July 18, 2010 - 12:01 am ET
DETROIT -- Ford Motor Co. avoided potentially long-term litigation Friday
after reaching an out-of-court settlement on a patent infringement lawsuit
with Paice LLC.
Both companies filed lawsuits against the other regarding a patented
technology used in hybrid versions of the Ford Fusion sedan and Escape
crossover.
The dispute surrounds the same patent -- U.S. Patent No. 5,343,970 -- that
Paice and Toyota Motor Corp. have been litigating over since 2005. Paice
holds 11 U.S. patents related to hybrid-vehicle technology.
"We are pleased to have reached an amicable resolution," Ford and Paice
executives said in a joint statement. Neither company would comment further
