Walmart has been ordered to pay $464,000 in interest and lawyers fees for importing some wireless, rotating spotlights from Hong Kong. Several years ago Walmart was a big supporter of "Buy American". What happened?

Judge orders Wal-Mart to pay in patent dispute.
The two men invented a wireless, remote-control light that could spin all the way around.
Wal-Mart, which imported about 14,600 similar lights from a Hong Kong company, argued Golight's patent was invalid because the device was an obvious solution to a problem. But the judge said the item sold by Wal- Mart was likely a deliberate copy of Golight's product.
