The United States District Court has ruled that Clean Up America, Inc. and Clean Up America Franchise Development Corporation have intentionally infringed on Parker West's patented mobile wastewtaer reclamation and treatment technolgy by manufacturing, marketing, and distributing the Swabby 48 and Swabby Mothership equipment in the industry. The Court ordered Clean Up America, Inc. and Clean Up America Franchise Development Corporation to pay treble damages to PWI for their intentional patent infringement, and to reimburse PWI for its attorneys' fees and costs expended to defend its patent. The District Court also ordered Clean Up America, Inc. and Clean Up America Franchise Development Corporation, together with any and all persons or entities in "active participation" with them, to cease and desist their business activities and operations that infringe PWI's patent, including the use of the Swabby 48 and Swabby Mothership products. Continued use of the wastewater recovery and treatment system is in violation of the Court's Order. Moreover, because the equipment obtained from CUA infringes on PWI's patent, PWI is entitled to recover damages going back to the date of start of use of the apparatus.
