DETROIT, MI - March 3, 2015
Golden Dental Solutions announced today an award by an Arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association in a multi-count arbitration filed against Mr. Jang H. Lim, d/b/a Dental USA, of McHenry Illinois, for willful patent infringement for its Power Elevator extraction instruments, illegally selling and manufacturing counterfeit and defective Physics Forceps without permission, and deceptively marketing its product as the new Physics Forceps to the dental community.
Due to the gravity and seriousness of Lim's conduct, the Arbitrator awarded Golden Dental Solutions treble damages under the United States Patent Act. The Arbitrator also found that monetary damages alone were inadequate and held that Lim, Dental USA, and all others acting in privity with Lim are “enjoined from continuing to import, make, sell, or have made its Power Elevator as currently configured and employed by dentists.
Respondent [Dental USA] and all of those in privity with Respondent are also hereby enjoined from selling...any of the counterfeit Physics Forceps instruments...†The Arbitrator also found that this was an extraordinary case and, therefore, awarded Golden Dental Solutions its attorney fees and costs incurred in the Arbitration.
Based on the Arbitrator's findings, Golden Dental Solutions will actively pursue its legal remedies against any and all past sellers or distributors of the Power Elevator product, as well as those dentists and programs currently using, teaching or otherwise employing the Power Elevator that was ruled to violate Golden Dental Solutions patented Physics Forceps technique.
Golden Dental Solutions is the inventor and manufacturer of the Physics Forceps, as well as the distributor for several other innovative and unique dental instruments that provide simple and clinically effective solutions to dentistry.
