The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled in favor of LG Electronics in the long-running refrigerator patent infringement case brought by Whirlpool Corporation for U.S. Patent No. 6,082,130 (ice storage bins located in refrigerator doors). The ITC denied Whirlpool's remaining patent infringement claim and all of its other claims for relief, giving LG Electronics a total victory over all of Whirlpool's patent infringement claims.
