Texas - Thanks for letting me ask this question!
I have been sued by a competitor for patent infringement. It looks as if the case will ultimately be decided in my favor via summary judgment in federal court but I am still looking at a 2006 or later closure. My competitor has now started informing almost all common customers that I am being sued and that they should not do business with me because I will ultimately lose the case. I do not know if this could be considered libel or slanderous, but isn’t there a law against this? It now looks like I may be losing a large order to the competitor because of the customer’s concern over this. Any direction or advice would be greatly appreciated!
