The upheld counterclaims center on Woodland’s assertions against Fiskars for false advertising,
based on Fiskars’s statements about the cutting power of the brand’s tools, and some of its statements that certain products were designed in the United States. Woodland Tools is seeking damages, and these claims are set to be heard in trial in the coming months by the Western District of Wisconsin.
The Fiskars lawsuit, filed on 09/21/2022, included allegations of patent infringement and violation of employee contracts. The ruling, delivered on August 26, 2024, dismisses all of Fiskars’ claims.
“We have long maintained that the allegations against Woodland Tools were baseless, and our team cooperated fully with the legal process to ensure a thorough examination of the facts,” said Keegan Nesvacil, Executive Vice President and Co-Founder of Woodland Tools. “Our team would like to thank our dedicated legal team at DeWitt LLP, partners, and loyal customers for their continued support throughout this process.”
