Sioux Steel v. Prairie Land
In February 2016, Sioux Steel Company filed a lawsuit for patent infringement against Prairie Land Millwright Services, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division). Sioux Steel Company v. Prairie Land Millwright Services, Inc. (1:16-cv-2212) was filed following Prairie Land’s making, selling, and offering for sale the “Bin Gator” paddle sweep, a type of agricultural grain sweeping product, despite having constructive notice of the existence of Sioux Steel’s patent for its paddle sweep product. Econ One’s expert Ms. Krista Holt, who has extensive experience calculating damages for patent infringement cases, was retained by counsel for Sioux Steel.
Ms. Holt was asked to calculate damages Sioux Steel may have suffered if there was a finding of liability against Prairie Land. Ms. Holt submitted an expert report, provided deposition testimony, and testified at trial. The Court ruled in favor of Sioux Steel in September of 2023, with the jury awarding Ms. Holt’s damages amount.
