Description
Herman Miller, Inc., challenges summary judgment granted in favor of The Travelers Indemnity Company. The district court ruled that Herman Miller was not entitled to reimbursement from Travelers for costs of defending and settling a claim brought by Haworth, Inc., alleging contributory and/or induced patent infringement. Herman Miller claims specifically that the district court erred by concluding that the policys definition of an "advertising injury" for which indemnification is warranted does not include liability arising from patent infringement. Because the policy does not contain mention of such liability yet does expressly incorporate other forms of infringement liability, it cannot be reasonably construed to include coverage for patent infringement liability. We therefore affirm the district court.
