Luminara is the exclusive licensee for the Artificial Flame Technology, which was originally created by Disney Enterprises.
“We are happy the Court ruled in Luminara’s favor. Luminara remains steadfast in protecting its intellectual property rights,” said Elliott Resnik, CEO, Luminara. “More importantly, we remain committed to delivering innovative products and world-class service to our customers.”
