A federal judge has granted USI Holdings Corporation a new trial following a $16.6 million judgment against it for alleged copyright infringement.
Judge Harvey Bartle III, sitting in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, granted the Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., insurance broker a new trial last week citing issues with the damage award and statute of limitations.
In June, a jury found the USI subsidiary, USI MidAltantci, Inc., and one of its employees, Thomas P. Haughey, used copyrighted material of the William A. Graham Company, based in Philadelphia, a rival insurance brokerage firm Mr. Haughey formerly worked at.
