Former Orion CEO’s new company is alleged to
make false claims and violate Orion patents
Today, Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OESX),
a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance,
energy-efficient retrofit lighting platforms, filed a complaint in
the United States Eastern Wisconsin District Court against Energy
Bank, Inc. of Manitowoc Wisconsin for alleged patent infringements
and unfair competition under the Lanham Act. Orion has an extensive
patent portfolio totaling 70 granted and 27 pending.
In its claim against Energy Bank, Orion alleges Energy Bank has
made claims and references that it owns Orion’s patents in
violation of federal statutes and Orion’s patent rights. During the
past eight months, Orion filed two other patent violation
complaints in federal court with successful resolution. Orion
values its patents and will defend them vigorously when an
infringement situation arises.
Recently, William C. Griesbach, Chief Judge of the United States
Eastern Wisconsin District Court, ruled in Orion’s favor and
dismissed all claims Energy Bank’s CEO, Neal Verfuerth, made with
respect to Orion’s ownership of its entire patent portfolio.
