Lightning Source Wins Court Appeal

The court’s opinion was unanimous in finding that “no reasonable jury could find infringement on the correct claim construction.”

The plaintiff, On Demand Machine Corporation (ODMC), won the initial verdict in March 2004, and was awarded $15 million in damages by the jury. The latest ruling, in favor of Lightning Source, a division of Ingram Industries Inc., vacated the damages award. Lightning Source is one of the largest on-demand printers in the world, with more than 10 million on-demand books printed to date.
