Metso IP Rights Infringement Case in China

ongoing

Metso has received a favorable decision by the Shanghai Pudong New Area People’s Court in China that fully supports Metso’s claims against Shenyang Sanland Mining Equipment Manufacture Co. and Shenyang Sanland Crusher and Grinder Equipment Manufacture Co. Ltd. for infringement of Metso’s intellectual property rights. The court ordered the two companies to immediately cease their infringement, which constituted production and marketing of imitations of Metso’s equipment and parts. Metso is pleased by the court’s ruling that protects its trademarks and goodwill in China, and by the court’s stance in enforcement of intellectual property rights. Metso will continue to take legal actions to protect its intellectual property in China and other markets.
