Bally Technologies Vindicated By Appeals Court
Bally Technologies Inc (BYI: 37.72 0.00%), a leader in slots, video machines, and casino-management systems for the global gaming industry has been vindicated by the U.S court of appeals.
In 2006, International Game Technology (IGT) and Shuffle Master, Inc alleged that Bally’s MP21 table game system and iVIEW products infringed the claims of two patents owned by the companies.
Nevada Federal District Court originally ruled in favor of Bally, rejecting ICT’s claim for monetary damages and an injunction on the system, resulting in the recent case presented before the appeals court.
The U.S Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the decision as ruled by the court in all respects, stating that Bally’s products do not infringe IGT’s patents, or that IGT’s patents were invalid, or both.
The decision disposed of the entire case against the casino game maker, Bally Technologies.
Bally’s antitrust claims against IGT are still pending trial.
