The U.S. International Trade Commission has ruled in favor of crane manufacturer Manitowoc Co. in a patent infringement lawsuit against Chinese rival Sany Heavy Industries and its U.S. subsidiary, Sany America.
Earlier this month, the ITC made an initial ruling that Sany violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act by infringing on one of Manitowoc's crawler-crane patents and misappropriating trade secrets.
