SPGPrints wins patent case

SPGPrints wins patent nullification case against MS/Dover in Dutch court.

SPGPrints, a leading equipment and consumables supplier for printing in the textile and graphics industry, has successfully argued before the Dutch court in The Hague that the MS/Dover patent EP2643159 for single pass digital textile printing is not inventive. The Court therefore invalidated the patent for the Netherlands. MS/Dover decided not to appeal the decision.

Mr. Joustra, CEO of SPGPrints, comments: “As the inventors of rotary screen printing and a first mover in digital textile printing SPGPrints instantly recognised that the MS/Dover patent was not inventive. We are happy that this has now been confirmed by an experienced patent court.”
