MacNeil Automotive Products asserted four patents: US9138917B1, US8833834B2, US8382186B2, and US8899655B1. All four cover aspects of MacNeil’s FLOORLINER vehicle floor tray technology, including precision-fit design, raised-edge containment, and retention features. The accused products were Yita LLC’s ‘Oedro’ and ‘YitaMotor’ branded floor trays.

The case was dismissed with prejudice and without costs on November 24, 2025, nine days before a scheduled December 3 trial date. The basis of termination recorded in the docket is ‘Case Settled.’ The specific financial or licensing terms of the settlement are not disclosed in the public record. The dismissal with prejudice means MacNeil cannot refile the same patent claims against Yita for the same accused conduct.

The case lasted 2,103 days — approximately 5 years and 9 months — from filing on February 21, 2020 to closure on November 24, 2025. This duration is notably longer than the median patent infringement case in US district courts, suggesting the case involved significant procedural complexity, including likely claim construction, summary judgment, and potential IPR proceedings.

The order allows any party to move to reopen the case within 120 days if the settlement agreement is not formally perfected. This is a standard judicial housekeeping provision to protect against settlement negotiations that fail to produce a signed agreement. It does not indicate the case is unsettled — it is a procedural safeguard. If no motion is filed within 120 days (approximately by late March 2026), the dismissal with prejudice becomes fully final.

The accused products were vehicle floor trays sold by Yita LLC under the brand names ‘Oedro’ and/or ‘YitaMotor.’ These are aftermarket custom-fit floor liner products sold primarily through e-commerce channels that MacNeil alleged infringed its four FLOORLINER patents covering design and functional features of precision-fit vehicle floor tray systems.
