Time: Aug 6th 2017 Copy editor: Tyrefull
Tyre building and rubber machinery solution providers VMI Group, has announced that major invention patents related to tire building technology are upheld in China. These patents were challenged by Safe-Run as their defense in the ongoing legal dispute, in which VMI is suing Safe-Run for infringement of VMI’s protected IP, a statement on the company website said.
The Patent Re-examination Board ruled recently that the challenged patents remain valid in China.
“This decision further strengthens our position in the legal dispute with Safe-Run and reaffirms our confidence in the Chinese legal system,” said Harm Voortman, CEO of VMI Group.
“To VMI’s surprise some other challenged patents were invalidated. VMI will appeal and is convinced that a higher court will recognise the validity of these other patents, which were granted and upheld in many other important countries, and overturn that element of the Patent Re-examination Board’s decision,” the statement further said.
