Law360 Features RJLF’s Win for JetBlack Cycling in ITC Dispute

Law360 featured Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg LLP’s (RJLF) win for JetBlack Cycling in a pivotal patent dispute with Wahoo Fitness. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia granted a preliminary injunction in favor of JetBlack, ordering Wahoo Fitness to withdraw its pending complaint before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). The district court’s decision found that Wahoo’s ITC claims—which sought to block JetBlack’s innovative products from entering the U.S. market—violated a forum selection clause requiring all related disputes to be resolved in Atlanta.

Judge Steven D. Grimberg ruled that Wahoo’s ITC complaint, concerning alleged patent infringement by JetBlack’s Victory trainer, fell within the scope of the parties’ prior settlement. Allowing the ITC case to proceed would have undermined that agreement, which clearly established the federal court in Atlanta as the exclusive forum for such disputes. As a result, JetBlack’s right to continue importing and selling its products in the United States is preserved.

Connor Houghton, counsel for RJLF, shared, “This decision really highlights how important well-crafted settlement agreements are. By enforcing the forum selection clause, the court not only ensured JetBlack can continue bringing its innovative products to U.S. consumers but also emphasized the value of resolving disputes in the venue both parties agreed on.”

The RJLF team also includes Christine Lehman, Courtland Reichman, Sarah Jorgensen, and Natalie Griffin.

The district court case is JetBlack Cycling Pty Ltd. v. Wahoo Fitness L.L.C., case number 1:26-cv-00040, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

The ITC investigation is In the Matter of Certain Bicycle Trainers, and Components Thereof, investigation number 337-TA-1475, before the U.S. International Trade Commission.
