In Global-Tech Appliances, Inc. v. SEB S.A., 131 S. Ct. 2060 (2011), the Supreme Court held that “willful blindness” may satisfy the knowledge element required for a finding of induced infringement.

Factual History
SEB sells home cooking appliances in the United States under the trademark
T-fal. Among its successful products is the Uno deep fryer. The construction of the patented Uno fryer keeps the exterior of the fryer cool during operation without using expensive heat-resistant plastic material. Pentalpha, a Hong Kong company, manufactures cooking appliances for a number of different companies. In response to a request from Sunbeam Products, Pentalpha purchased a SEB deep fryer in Hong Kong and designed a competitive fryer by copying the SEB product in all but its cosmetic features.
