FALL RIVER, Mass., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Genlyte
Group Incorporated (NASDAQ:GLYT) announced that on February 5, 2007
the United States District Court of Massachusetts entered a
judgment in favor of Genlyte Thomas Group LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary, against Arch Lighting Group, Inc. ("ALG") and its Arch
Lighting Systems ("ALS") Division of Taunton, MA, based on a jury
verdict that the ALS MulTmed line of hospital room products
infringed Genlyte's "Integrated Medical Lighting System" patent.
The Court awarded damages and interest to Genlyte for past sales by
ALS of infringing MulTmed products in the amount of $238 thousand,
and also required ALS to pay Genlyte a per fixture royalty of $67
per product sold since September 30, 2006. In addition, the Court
enjoined ALS from making, using, selling offering for sale or
importing any further MulTmed products. "We are pleased by the
jury's decision and the court's enforcement of our patent," said

continued growth, and Lightolier, now in its 102nd year, has always
been at the forefront of lighting development technology. This
particular patent provided a new way to illuminate the hospital
patient room, and is a very strong and well-respected patent.
