Honeywell International Inc. is set to take its engine pricing case against Bombardier Inc. to Canada's highest court in a bid to seek 'relief' following a long-standing legal battle.
The dispute between the two aerospace companies dates back to 2016 when Honeywell accused Bombardier of selling its Global business jets equipped with an engine that infringed on Honeywell's intellectual property rights. Honeywell alleged that Bombardier's use of the engine in question violated its patents.
In response, Bombardier denied the allegations and argued that the engine in question was not covered by Honeywell's patents. The legal battle escalated, leading to a series of court rulings in favor of both companies at different stages of the litigation process.
Now, Honeywell is taking the case to the Supreme Court of Canada, seeking relief in the form of a favorable ruling that could potentially impact the outcome of the dispute. The company is hopeful that the highest court in the country will provide clarity on the matter and resolve the long-standing legal uncertainty surrounding the case.
Both Honeywell and Bombardier have invested significant resources in defending their positions throughout the legal proceedings. The outcome of the case at the Supreme Court could have far-reaching implications for both companies and the broader aerospace industry.
As the legal battle continues to unfold, industry observers are closely watching the developments in the case and awaiting the final decision from Canada's top court. The resolution of this dispute could set an important precedent for intellectual property rights and patent infringement cases in the aerospace sector.
