California-based global lighting and smart home brand Feit Electronic Company Inc has commenced a second white LED filament patent enforcement action against Savant Technologies LLC doing business as GE Lighting in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Feit Electric says that, despite being warned, Savant imported and then sold white LED filament light bulbs marketed under the GE brand.
Feit Electric introduced light bulbs with white LED filaments in August 2022 as an alternative to the traditional yellow filament. Anticipating that other light bulb suppliers might copy them, Feit Electric announced that it owns a set of patents directed to covering the yellow material used on LED filaments.
“Not only did we widely announce to the industry that Feit Electric owns a set of patents directed to covering the yellow material used on LED filaments, but we also specifically and directly informed Savant as well as retailers and other manufacturers,” says president Alan Feit. “Despite those warnings, Savant went forward with infringing white LED filament products.”
Feit Electric is seeking an injunction to bar the further importation and sale of infringing white LED filament light bulbs, for damages, and for enhanced damages and attorney fees for willful infringement.
