Arlington Indus., Inc. v. Bridgeport Fittings, Inc.

On January 20, 2011, the Federal Circuit vacated and remanded the district court’s summary judgment that Bridgeport did not infringe U.S. Patents No. 5,266,050 and No. 6,521,831, which related respectively to an improved electrical connector that snaps into electrical junction boxes with one hand instead of two, and a duplex electrical connector having two openings to allow the insertion of two electrical cables through the connector into a single hole in the junction box.
