Dear Sirs,
Megaplast continues to claim, as the latest news, that they took legal action against Galloplastik and states that “the Court has not issued any decision on the matter yet.”. For your right information and to our great satisfaction, we write to inform you that this claim is now no longer true, in fact:
THE COURT OF VENICE
On July 19th, 2023, as part of the first instance proceedings, dismissed all claims made by MEGAPLAST regarding the patent EP1768837 and recognized that Galloplastik was right and ruled that since their patent EP1768837 lacked of inventive step,
GALLOPLASTIK has never infringed MEGAPLAST’s patent
In addition to that
MEGAPLAST has been sentenced to compensate GALLOPLASTIK
for the legal fees incurred, generai expenses, CTP, CPA, VAT, others/extras and all court-appointed experts’ costs,
for a total amount of 40,000 euros approx.
We expect that MEGAPLAST, in addition to its legal actions, will also give equal publicity to its legal defeats and to the actual value of its patents, since we already issued warnings in the past and we will continue to warn Megaplast against deliberately issuing partial and misleading statements. Therefore, we kindly ask you to be wary of anyone spreading misinformation or slander about Galloplastik and, if you encounter this, to inform us as soon as possible to help us protect our rights, as well as yours rights against those who resort to intimidation and defamation as unfair competition tactics.
