Wilmington, Del. – A Delaware jury has determined that Asko Appliances and Daewoo Electronics infringed on three front-load washer patents held by LG Electronics.

The case, tried in the U.S. District Court, here, involved patented technology that provides consumers with large-capacity, direct-drive, high-spin-speed washers that produce low noise and vibration, LG said.

LG filed suit against Asko and Daewoo in 2008, alleging that the companies were selling “knock-offs” of patented LG washer designs.
