Caldwell Cassady & Cury won a $57 million verdict in March 2024 as part of the firm’s continuing patent enforcement efforts for Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. A jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware assessed liability against a group of coal industry companies for infringing Midwest Energy’s patents for technology used to capture mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants.
The trial court entered judgment in December 2025 for more than $68.3 million in favor of Midwest Energy Emissions, including pre-judgment interest. The court also assessed post-judgment interest accruing at $7,500 per day while the defendants appeal the judgment to the Federal Circuit.
