The Court of Appeals awarded a group of co-authors of a patent an unlawfully withheld remuneration

Our Dispute Resolution team has successfully represented co-authors of a patent before the Court of Appeal of Lithuania.

The dispute involved the co-authors‘ claim against the Polish energy concern on the remuneration for the economic effect, which the concern received during the period of 1996-2010 by using the patent.

The case at hand was remanded to the Court of Appeal of Lithuania to be reheard by the Supreme Court of Lithuania for the second time. Based on our arguments and the findings of the court of cassation, the Court of Appeal of Lithuania concluded that the Polish energy concern unlawfully withheld remuneration whilst gaining profit from using the Invention in the question, thus awarding the co-authors the remaining claimed sums owed by the concern.
