GE (GE)
GE, the biggest maker of wind turbines in the U.S., filed a new patent infringement lawsuit against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and plans to appeal an earlier case it lost.

One is related to the base frame supporting the weight of the rotor and the other covers a way to keep the turbine connected to the electricity grid even when the voltage drops. GE seeks a court order to block further use of its inventions, plus cash compensation.
