Intellectual Property Enforcement

JLC-Tech LLC, the leading innovator of T-BAR LED lighting technologies, understands the importance of intellectual property rights and fair competition. To protect its intellectual property rights, JLC-Tech LLC takes action.

JLC-Tech previously sued Shenzhen OKT Lighting Co., Ltd. for infringement of multiple intellectual property rights. A copy of the Shenzhen OKT Lighting complaint can be viewed here. The suit against Shenzhen OKT Lighting settled favorably for JLC-Tech LLC. JLC-Tech also previously sued Edge Systems Group for infringement of multiple intellectual property rights and obtained a $15,000 judgment. A copy of the judgment can be viewed here.

Recently, JLC-Tech LLC initiated action to protect its intellectual property rights by suing North America Lighting, LLC for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The lawsuit alleges, in part, that two product lines offered for sale and sold by North America Lighting — the Mister T-Grid LED Linear Light and the T-Grid LED Linear light — infringe JLC-Tech’s U.S. Patent No. 10,508,805.

A copy of the North America Lighting Consent Injunction Order can be viewed here.

The parties’ joint statement regarding the resolution of the North America Lighting lawsuit can be viewed here.
