Alps South, LLC (Alps) sued The Ohio Willow Wood Company (OWW), assertin g infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,552,109 (the ’109 patent). Among other pre - and post-trial motions, OWW filed an unsuccessful motion to dismiss contending that Alps lacked standing to sue under the Patent Act. At trial, a jury found that the ’109 patent was valid and that OWW had willfully infringed. OWW now appeals the denial of its motion to dismiss for lack of standing.
