A Nebraska unit of Bloomington-based Toro Co. has been awarded $24.3 million in a patent infringement lawsuit against Briggs & Stratton.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports the jury agreed with Exmark Manufacturing's arguments that Briggs & Stratton violated a patent for a mulching mower deck with multiple blades.
The jury also decided redesigned versions of the mower don't infringe on the patent.
Exmark spokesman Branden Happel says the company is pleased with the verdict in the 2010 lawsuit, and it will continue to defend its innovations.
Briggs & Stratton spokeswoman Laura Timm says her company disagrees with the verdict and will seek to overturn it.
