Cognex Corp. of Natick said a federal jury has ruled in the company’s favor in a patent infringement lawsuit it brought against a Washington state firm last year.
The suit against Microscan Systems Inc., of Renton, Wash., and its development and manufacturing partner, The Code Corp., alleged that Microscan’s Mobile Hawk handheld code reader infringed on a Cognex patent. The jury in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York agreed, Cognex said, and awarded the company an undisclosed amount of lost profits.
“We are very gratified by the jury’s decision in this case,” Cognex CEO Robert J. Willett said in a statement. “Cognex has invested significant resources to develop proprietary and innovative ID code-reading technology. On behalf of the Cognex engineering teams that developed this technology and the many customers around the world who purchase our products because of their innovations, we want to thank the jury for its decision.”
An email request to Microscan for a response was not answered Monday morning.
