Sport Dimension Inc. announced that the U.S. District Court in San Francisco has granted summary judgment of non-infringement in favor of Sport Dimension in a patent infringement case brought by Wham-O Inc. regarding Sport Dimension’s Snow Sliders.

The suit involved the production of graphics produced on the inside of the board, with a clear layer above to prevent the graphics from being scratched off. For Wham-O, this constitued the placement of graphics on the inner side of the outer layer, while Sport Dimension placed graphics on the outer-facing inner layer. As such, the placement of these graphics were in different locations and no infringement occured.
