Suits and counter suits between Whirlpool and LG Electronics are mounting in a Delaware district court here over alleged refrigerator patent infringements.
In the latest round of legal wrangling, Whirlpool has added four more patent violations to an existing suit in which it is seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages. The four patents involve proprietary technologies associated with product reliability, performance and quality.

We'd heard the rumours that this was going to happen and, it appears, that the rumours were in fact true yet again. Indesit have launched "smart cards" to reprogram their appliances which include washing machines, washer dryers, dishwashers, cookers and some refrigeration products.
Indesit states that this "technological innovation" is intended to make the machines easier to program. We don't think so.
Indesit is considering acquisitions in China, India and the United States in order to expand internationally and take advantage of the strong euro the La Repubblica newspaper reports.
In a report mostly citing analysts, the newspaper said CEO Marco Milani is considering a marketing campaign to boost its upmarket Scholtes brand after recent Indesit and HotpointAriston brand efforts.
Fisher & Paykel Appliances announced plans last week to consolidate its three manufacturing operations in California, Australia and New Zealand into the Reynosa factory, which includes two buildings with more than 350,000 square feet combined. The company should retain much of the workforce.
The move comes four months after Whirlpool, which has 750 employees at the Reynosa factory, made public its plans to move its operations here to Coahuila. The factory is expected to cease production under Whirlpool in July.
