Seattle’s Aviation Partners Inc. has settled a long-running patent infringement dispute with Airbus, which it accused of “willfully and maliciously misappropriating” its patented blended winglet technology.
The fight began with dueling lawsuits in 2011 and 2012 and ended in recent months after arbitration before the International Chamber of Commerce in London, two aerospace industry sources said.
Airbus ended up making a large payment to Aviation Partners (API), according to the sources, who were familiar with the matter but asked not to be named to protect business relationships.
