Aperture’s Economic Damages Expert Provided Patent Damages Testimony on Behalf of
 SSI Technologies

Aperture’s Economic Damages Expert, Richard F. Bero, and the Aperture team worked alongside Michael Best and its client, SSI Technologies, in a Patent Infringement lawsuit.

On October 3, 2024, a Wisconsin federal jury ruled that KUS Technology Corp., also known as DZEM, willfully infringed SSI Technologies’ ‘038 Patent titled: “Reduction of Aeration Interference in an Ultrasonic Fluid Sensing System”, a technology used in diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) systems. At trial, the jury awarded SSI Technologies $14.2 million in lost profits and $2.4 million in reasonable royalty damages, aligning closely with Mr. Bero’s damages analysis and opinions.
