Kenyon won summary judgment in favor of client Jiangsu Sinorgchem Technology Co. Ltd. in a patent infringement litigation case brought by Flexsys America LP. The patents-in-suit are directed to a process for making anti-degradants, used in almost every automobile tire. The case was originally filed in 2005, in the Northern District of Ohio, and had been stayed on multiple occasions due to two parallel International Trade Commission actions. Once the final ruling of non infringement was announced by the ITC, Flexsys chose not to appeal the adverse noninfringement finding and reopened this case. Judge Sara Lioi found that “Flexsys has failed to come forward with any genuine issues of material fact that would lead a reasonable juror to find in favor of Flexsys on the issue of literal infringement or infringement under the doctrine of equivalents” and granted summary judgment in favor of Sinorgchem. Case number 05-civ-156 (2010).
