National Products, Inc. Wins at Federal Circuit

National Products Inc., a local maker of mounting products under the trademark RAM, won a victory at the CAFC yesterday. The opinion, authored by Chief Judge Michel, affirmed an order from the USDC in the Central District of California (Judge Audrey B. Collins) dismissing an action for declaratory judgment that was filed against NPI about a year ago by Panavise, Inc. Because NPI is a Darby client, I won't comment further other than to include some language from Judge Michel's opinion: "we do note that this appeal approaches wasting the court’s time and unduly delaying more deserving litigants."
