LONDEN, 22 februari 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ansell Healthcare Products LLC en Ansell (UK) Ltd, volledige dochterondernemingen van Ansell Ltd., een wereldleider op het gebied van oplossingen voor persoonlijke bescherming, heeft vandaag bekendgemaakt dat ze een rechtszaak zijn begonnen tegen Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (VK) Ltd wegens octrooi-inbreuk door diens distributie van de Durex RealFeel®-condoom. Het beroep dat is ingediend bij de Britse Hoge Raad in Londen volgt vergelijkbare rechtszaken tegen Reckitt Benckiser in Australië en de VS en stelt schending van het Europese octrooi, nummer 2 280 618 van Ansell met de naam "Dip-formed Synthetic Polyisoprene Latex Articles with Improved Intraparticle and Interparticle Crosslinks."

De rechtszaak tegen Reckitt Benckiser is het derde beroep wegens octrooi-inbreuk dat Ansell in de afgelopen drie jaar tegen Reckitt Benckiser heeft ingediend. Als onderdeel van een algehele strategie om haar waardevolle intellectuele eigendom en haar zeer innovatieve non-latex SKYN®-condoomproductlijn te beschermen, hebben Ansell Ltd en Ansell Healthcare Products LLC in november 2014 de eerste rechtszaak ingediend tegen Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare Australia Pty Limited en Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Ltd bij de griffie van de arrondissementsrechtbank van New South Wales in Australië wegens octrooi-inbreuk. Later dit jaar wordt een beslissing verwacht van het Australische hof. Daarnaast heeft Ansell Healthcare Products LLC in oktober 2015 een tweede rechtszaak wegens octrooi-inbreuk ingediend tegen Reckitt Benckiser LLC bij de districtsrechtbank van Delaware in de Verenigde Staten.

Ansell vraagt om een permanent gerechtelijk bevel om Reckitt Benckiser ervan te weerhouden inbreuk te maken op het Europees octrooi (VK), nummer 2 280 618. Ansells claim zal met name om een bevel vragen om Reckitt Benckiser tegen te houden zonder toestemming van Ansell opnieuw een van de volgende activiteiten in het VK uit te voeren gedurende de periode van dat octrooi:

  • Het product Durex RealFeel importeren in het VK;
  • Het product Durex RealFeel verkopen, leveren of op andere wijze afzetten in het VK; en
  • Aanbieden om het product Durex RealFeel te verkopen, leveren of op andere wijze af te zetten in het VK.

Daarnaast zal Ansell vragen om:

  • Schadevergoeding, inclusief gederfde winsten, kosten (advocaatkosten), rente en verdere ondersteuning waar het hof dit passend en eerlijk acht.

"Ansell is een wereldleider op het gebied van ontwikkeling en commercialisering van condooms en operatiehandschoenen die gebruikmaken van het gepatenteerde polyisopreentechnologie", aldus Bill Reilly, Senior Vice President en Corporate General Counsel van Ansell. "Het bedrijf heeft aanzienlijke investeringen gedaan in onderzoek en ontwikkeling in deze technologie en gerelateerde octrooien. Deze rechtszaak is bedoeld om deze investeringen te beschermen."

Ansell wordt in de rechtszaak in het VK vertegenwoordigd door Kempner and Partners LLP.
