Innovex International, Inc. (“Innovex,” the “Company” or “we”) today announced that on March 5, 2026, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas returned a verdict against Downhole Well Solutions, LLC (“DWS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Innovex. As previously disclosed, in 2023 Impulse Downhole Solutions Ltd. and Impulse Downhole Tools USA Ltd. (collectively, “Impulse”) filed a lawsuit against DWS (captioned Impulse Downhole Solutions Ltd., and Impulse Downhole Tools USA Ltd v. Downhole Well Solutions, LLC, Civil Action No. 4:23-cv-02954) alleging infringement of five United States patents owned by Impulse Downhole Solutions Ltd. relating to friction reduction tools used in directional drilling. The allegations of infringement of two of the patents were dismissed before the jury trial. The jury found the remaining patent claims were valid, that DWS had infringed on those patents, and advised the district court of its view that such infringement was willful. The jury awarded monetary damages of approximately $47.6 million to Impulse. The damages could increase or decrease based on further proceedings and judicial determination. No judgment has been entered at this time.
The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict, intends to continue to vigorously challenge it, and expects to pursue post-trial motions and appeal any resulting judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
