21-401 ZF AUTOMOTIVE US, INC. V. LUXSHARE, LTD. DECISION BELOW: 2021 WL 2705477 PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI BEFORE JUDGMENT GRANTED. CONSOLIDATED WITH 21-518 FOR ONE HOUR ORAL ARGUMENT. CERT. GRANTED 12/10/2021 QUESTION PRESENTED: The question presented in this case is substantively identical to the question presented in Servotronics, Inc. v. Rolls-Royce PLC, No. 20-794 (oral argument originally scheduled for Oct. 5, 2021; case removed from oral argument calendar Sept. 8, 2021): Whether 28 U.S.C. § 1782(a), which permits litigants to invoke the authority of United States courts to render assistance in gathering evidence for use in "a foreign or international tribunal," encompasses private commercial arbitral tribunals, as the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Fourth and Sixth Circuits have held, or excludes such tribunals, as the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Second, Fifth, and Seventh Circuits have held. LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 21-2736
In the case of ZF Automotive US v. Luxshare, Ltd., the Supreme Court considered a dispute between two companies over patent infringement and damages. The plaintiff, ZF Automotive US (ZFA), alleged that Luxshare had infringed on its patents related to automotive parts such as airbag connectors and seatbelt buckles. In response, Luxshare argued that it was not liable for any damages because it did not have sufficient knowledge of the patents at issue when it began manufacturing products using them. The Supreme Court ultimately held in favor of ZFA, finding that even if a defendant does not know about an existing patent prior to infringing upon it, they are still liable for damages caused by their actions. This ruling is significant because it reinforces the importance of intellectual property rights and serves as a reminder to all parties involved in similar disputes that ignorance is no excuse when dealing with patented inventions or designs.
