USLT filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, for the Central District of California, which asserted, among other claims, that Deco Lighting’s Anaconda streetlight infringed on U.S. Patent No. D624,685, which was secured by USLT in the fall of 2010 and refers to the company’s signature Jersey Series of Street Lights. David B. Sandelands, Esq. represented US Lighting Tech in the patent infringement case.

“US Lighting Tech’s proprietary product line is widely regarded as the gold standard in the induction lighting industry when it comes to energy efficiency and performance,” said Richard Ham, president of USLT. “We will always vigorously defend our intellectual property which is the foundation of our technology offering, and fundamental to our business success.”

USLT has installed its induction products in 220 municipalities and cities, and is the first and only induction manufacturer in the world to already have over 125,000 street lights installed on streets and neighborhoods across the globe.
