A Texas federal jury awarded Stratasys $27.6 million in damages after finding Bambu Lab willfully infringed four U.S. patents. The case was filed in August 2024 and reached verdict in September 2026 after a week-long trial. A second Stratasys patent case against Bambu Lab remains pending without a scheduled trial date.
What I find interesting here is that’s a pretty small award. Barely as slap on the fingers. But it does throw the fear of god into other manufacturers.
The “willful” finding is significant. In patent law, willful infringement enables courts to award enhanced damages — up to three times the jury’s award — at the judge’s discretion.
So could be 82.8 million plus their other lawsuit.
