Third Circuit Court of Appeals Releases Decision on FTC vs Innovative Designs Court Case

Pittsburgh, Pa - (NewMediaWire) - July 29, 2021 - Innovative Designs (OTCQB: IVDN) Inc -- In a dispositive decision during a bench trial, Federal District Court Judge Nora Fischer of the Western District of Pennsylvania found that the Federal Trade Commission failed to present any credible expert testimony to support its suit for false advertising and entered judgment for Defendant Innovative Designs (“IDI”). The FTC sued IDI under Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, alleging that IDI overstated the insulation power (or “R-values”) of its Insultex house wrap products and falsely claimed that using Insultex saves energy. The “R-value” of an insulation product is the numeric measure of its ability to restrict heat flow and, as a result, reduce energy costs. IDI contended that test results from an accredited laboratory supported its claimed R-values.

The FTC appealed the court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit. The appeal was argued on July 8, 2021, before Honorable Judges Patty Shwartz, Cheryl Ann Krause and Marjorie Rendell. Court records were filed on July 22, 2021, affirming Judge Nora Fisher’s decision, and denying the Federal Trade Commission’s request for an appeal.
