Battenfeld China wins lawsuit against Cosmos Group companies
For more than 10 years
After 4 years of litigation, a court in Dongguan has now established beyond doubt that the three com-panies accused, Donghua Machinery Ltd., Dongguan Cosmos Machinery Co. Ltd. and Dongguan Welltec Machinery Ltd., have unlawfully used confidential internal documents concerning the manu-facture of PE pipe extrusion lines that are the property of Battenfeld China. The Chinese competitors have been ordered to destroy immediately all illegal copies of drawings and other technical information and all copied PE pipe extrusion equipment manufactured on the basis of such documents still in pro-duction or already on the market. Production, sale and marketing of such products have now been prohibited, and a fine has also been imposed. According to the court, the infringement of Battenfeld China’s intellectual property rights extends to the production of extruders and extrusion dies as well as downstream equipment such as vacuum tanks, haul-offs and saws.
Today, Battenfeld Extrusion Systems Ltd. ranks among the market leaders in China with well over 200 extrusion lines installed and more than 120 customers. The Cosmos Machinery Group, of which Dongguan Dekuma Welltec Machinery Co. Ltd. is also a member, was established in 1982 and is one of the largest Chinese manufacturers of plastics processing machinery.
