Circ. Ruling Highlights The Cost Of Incorrect InventorshipAn April 2, 2026 decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Fortress Iron LP v. Digger Specialties Inc. highlights that incorrect inventorship can be an Achilles heel capable of rendering a patent invalid, despite being a challenge that is often raised but rarely succeeds. The ruling serves as a reminder of the legal consequences companies face when patent inventorship records are inaccurate. This decision provides guidance on the stakes involved in maintaining proper inventorship documentation.LBM JournalScreened Outdoor Living Spaces Are in Demand. Here's How Dealers Can Deliver.Digger Specialties, Inc. (DSI) has introduced the Westbury ScreenRail Screen Enclosure System to help dealers, distributors, and contractors capitalize on the growing demand for screened outdoor living spaces that provide comfort, protection, and versatility throughout the season. The aluminum-based screening system integrates with decks, porches, and patios while offering durability, low maintenance, and seamless compatibility with existing Westbury railing products. DSI positions the product as an opportunity for building product professionals to expand project offerings and deliver complete outdoor living packages to homeowners seeking integrated solutions.NewsfileDSI's 'Reference Guide to Railing' Takes the Guesswork Out of Selecting a Railing SystemDigger Specialties Inc. released a Reference Guide to Railing for outdoor living spaces, covering material comparisons and contractor selection. The guide includes descriptions of Westbury aluminum railing models and a chart comparing wood, vinyl, composite, aluminum, steel, and stainless-steel options.The National Law ReviewFederal Circuit Affirms Invalidity DeterminationThe US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed an invalidity determination in Fortress Iron, LP v. Digger Specialties, Inc., upholding that two patents directed to pre-assembled vertical cable railing panels were invalid due to incorrect inventorship. Fortress Iron had collaborated with quality control liaison employees Hua Ping Huang and Alfonso Lin on the inventions, but the issued patents omitted both as co-inventors; while Fortress successfully added Lin under 35 U.S.C. § 256(a), it could not locate Huang to satisfy statutory notice requirements. The Federal Circuit ruled that when an invention has multiple inventors, all must be named, and that § 256(b)'s notice and hearing requirements cannot be bypassed, meaning patents that cannot be corrected due to an unlocatable omitted inventor must be invalidated.The National Law ReviewFederal Circuit: Uncorrectable Inventorship Renders Patents InvalThe Federal Circuit affirmed summary judgment invalidating two patents in Fortress Iron, LP v. Digger Specialties, Inc. because a co-inventor was omitted from the patent and could not be located to provide the required notice for correction under 35 U.S.C. § 256. The case underscores that an uncorrectable inventorship error can render a patent unenforceable, particularly for companies that rely on external parties such as suppliers or overseas manufacturers for technical contributions. The article advises companies to implement disciplined inventorship practices throughout product development to avoid such defects before patent issuance.EIN PresswireJeff Woods Construction & Westbury® Railing (DSI) Formalize Strategic PartnershipJeff Woods Construction & Roofing formalized a strategic partnership with Westbury Aluminum Railing, a division of Digger Specialties, Inc., making Jeff Woods an official installer and preferred contractor in its Tennessee service region.
