Star Scientific Inc. said Thursday June 28, 2007 it is appealing two federal court rulings against the smokeless tobacco developer in its patent dispute with cigarette maker R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.
The appeal will be heard by a three-judge panel.
On Tuesday, the court ruled against Star Scientific in an "inequitable conduct" bench trial, which had delayed the implementation of a prior patent ruling against Star Scientific.
In patent law, "inequitable conduct" suggests that the patent-holder knowingly misrepresented itself or withheld relevant information in applying for its patent, allowing the court to deem its patent unenforceable.
