6. Subsequent event
On October 31, 2016 DSM filed a petition with the International Trade Commission (ITC) to commence an investigation against MUV and its customer OFS for allegedly importing UV curable coatings that infringe four DSM patents. In response, the ITC commenced an investigation. On February 6, 2017, the Federal District Court in the Southern District of Ohio stayed the infringement case pending the outcome of the ITC investigation. On February 15, 2018, the Administrative Law Judge in the ITC investigation issued an Initial Determination recommending that the ITC find many of the claims invalid but also that MUV infringed certain claims in two of DSM’s patents. MUV is filing a petition with the ITC to request that it reject the infringement findings in the Initial Determination and find that MUV’s products do not infringe any valid claims in DSM’s patents. A decision from the ITC is expected in Q2 2018.
