Birchtech Corp., a company specializing in activated carbon technologies for air and water treatment, has initiated enforcement actions to collect a $78 million judgment against the CERT entities following a Delaware litigation. The judgment, issued on December 29, 2025, by the U.S. District Court of Delaware, came after a jury found CERT liable for willful, inducing, and contributory infringement. CERT has filed a notice of appeal and may seek a bonded stay to delay payment, which would require them to provide a bond or other security. With the 30-day automatic stay expired and no bonded stay yet in place, Birchtech is now pursuing payment through various legal means, while interest continues to accrue on the judgment amount during the appeal process.
