Patent infringement case

Manfred Lupke, a legal representative of Corma Inc, reached agreements involving an enforcement settlement with three defendants for patent infringement cases in Shanghai.

A total of 750,000 yuan has been adjudged as compensation to Lupke after two successful lawsuits.

The patent infringement case centered on Corma's exclusive Mold Block Quick Return Technology, the use of which increases output rates while offering the pipe producer a reduction in the capital expenditure for mold blocks.

The three defendants were Chinese manufacturers: Shanghai Jewel Machinery Co, ERA Construction Materials Development Co and Anhui Guotong High-Tech Pipes Co Ltd.

The court ruled that the companies had manufactured, sold and used products infringing on Lupke's patents for business purposes. The companies were ordered to pay civil penalties and to cease production of the infringing products.
