Law360 Mentions Benesch Team for Major Trial Win for Cooper Lighting
March 27, 2026
The Law360 article titled “Lighting Co. Kenall Gets 5% Royalty, No Lost Profits In IP Row” highlights a favorable outcome for our client Cooper Lighting in a recent intellectual property dispute with Kenall Manufacturing. While the court awarded Kenall a 5 percent royalty on certain sales, it rejected Kenall’s claim for lost profits, significantly limiting the financial impact on Cooper Lighting.
This outcome is a direct result of the trial strategy led by Benesch Partner Kal Shah, Senior Managing Associate Cristina Almendarez, Partner David Bluestone and Managing Associate Louis Constantinou for their skilled representation of Cooper Lighting. The Benesch team’s strategic approach helped secure a result that avoided substantial damages and protected Cooper Lighting’s business interests.
