Avient Protective Materials (APM), the inventor and manufacturer of Dyneema®, has initiated infringement proceedings in Europe at the Unified Patent Court (UPC) to protect its intellectual property rights. The action addresses alleged patent infringement on one of APM’s European patents and underscores the company’s commitment to safeguarding its innovations for the benefit of customers and end-users.
The UPC will review APM’s infringement claim, with a decision expected in one year.
“Protecting our innovations through intellectual property rights is at the heart of our business,
said Jan-Lodewijk Lindemulder, VP & General Manager at Avient Protective Materials. “Our customers rely on our patented technologies to deliver superior performance and safety, and we will continue to defend these innovations vigorously.”
APM’s leadership in ballistic fiber technology and soft- and hard-ballistic solutions has resulted in numerous granted patents worldwide. Customers purchasing APM products covered by patents benefit from access to these innovations and from APM’s unwavering commitment to defend its intellectual property rights.
