A patent-infringement lawsuit
involving Primo Water Corp. finally has a potential court date nearly
two years after it was filed by the Winston-Salem company.
A legal filing Wednesday provided two updates in the case involving Primo and Zephyr Fluid Solutions LLC.
The
companies have until Jan. 31 to file their disposition motions, with a
trial date recommended for “as soon as practicable” after June 1.

and Primo are suing each other in a dispute in which Primo is being
accused of using “schoolyard bully tactics.”

Primo claims in the lawsuit filed in December
2010 that Zephyr is profiting from willfully infringing on Primo’s
patents for a water-dispenser bottle return apparatus.
Primo
wants a federal judge to bar Zephyr from selling products that infringe
on Primo’s patents, and is asking for damages and the profits Zephyr
made from those products.
Mark Castenada, chief financial officer of Primo, said it is company policy not to comment on litigation.

signals that travel in opposite directions in an optical fiber,
analogous to the operation of an electronic circulator. Zephyr made
several claims against Primo, including false advertising, commercial
disparagement, deceptive and unfair business practice, trade libel and
unfair competition.
Zephyr is pursuing damages in excess of
$75,000 and the requirement that Primo destroy any materials
“containing a literally false and/or deceptively misleading statement
considering Zephyr and its product.”
Both companies promote their products as environmentally friendly.
“Our
water-bottle return cage is clearly distinguishable from the patented
designs held by Primo and plainly cannot be confused with Primo's
patented design,” Zephyr said.
Nate Hamilton, a spokesman for
Zephyr, has said the company believes “there are substantial questions
on whether or not the Primo patents are valid.”
Hamilton said
that the school yard bully comment came from Zephyr having fewer
resources “to fight a lengthy and costly legal battle than Primo,
especially after their initial public offering” that was launched in
November.
