BEAR, DE -- The remaining items of a long-running patent infringement dispute between Arlon Inc. and Rogers Corp. have been resolved, with Rogers agreeing to pay for certain counterclaims by Arlon and to forego appeals.

Under a settlement agreement signed April 30, Rogers, without admitting liability, agreed to pay Arlon an undisclosed sum to resolve certain counterclaims which remained following an October 2009 court decision in Arlon's favor. Under the agreement, Rogers also said it would forego any appeal and bring the lawsuit to final resolution.

The original complaint, filed in December 2008, alleged that Arlon's 25N series thermoset polymer laminate infringed on Rogers' US Patent 5,571,609. 

In October 2009, a US District Court in Connecticut granted Arlon's motion for summary judgment and dismissed Roger's patent infringement complaint. In granting Arlon's motion for summary judgment, the district court agreed with Arlon that Rogers' claims of patent infringement were barred by a covenant not to sue contained in a 1996 asset purchase agreement entered into by the parties.

The October decision left to be resolved various counterclaims brought by Arlon against Rogers. Those items were resolved by the April 30 agreement.
