Patent hearing availed for Corning’s Licence.
Patents for licensing are a company’s defence to safeguard their product. But in a competitive market rivals will instinctively aim to equal or challenge innovation. Testifying claims against competitors who infringe upon the boundaries of patented products can prove to be an epic battle as recently experienced by Corning, U.S. based Technology Company
Patents for licensing are a company’s defence to safeguard their product. But in a competitive market rivals will instinctively aim to equal or challenge innovation. Testifying claims against competitors who infringe upon the boundaries of patented products can prove to be an epic battle as recently experienced by Corning, U.S. based Technology Company.
Corning was the foundry laboratory in the industry to pioneer break through ideas in optical biosensors that enabled label independent detection of chemical, biochemical and biological substances in a sample. However a company called SRU Biosystem was alleged to have infringed on the patent exclusively licenced to Corning. After a court hearing in the district of Delaware U.S.A a ruling was heared stating that SRU Biosystem of Woburn had indeed infringed on this patented label. And a lawsuit was filed.
The patent 4,815,843 from Artificial Sensing Instruments ASI AG of Zurich, Switzerland, (ASI) was declared held by Corning. SRU claimed to have developed a sensor called guided-moderesonant filters that allowed different wavelengths of light to flow through carrying specific pieces of information. But this ulltimately infringed upon the patented licence Corning held.
The court was also known to have ruled the issued patent to Corning as valid and a cause for a law suit against SRU was filed in July 2003 to resolve the despite receiving its final hearing only just quite recently to settle remaining issues in the case. It was declared at the final court hearing that SRU had induced infringement of the patent by activities of testing with potential clients. Therefore when the dispute was finally resolved Corning was elated to have finally won the long battle to reclaim its patented rights over the independent label proving them well to have upheld the claim.
