: Philip Brooks’ Patent Infringement UpdatesDocument Security Systems' European Patent Validated
By Philip Brooks
The following is excerpted from a March 24, 2010 Document Security Systems' press release published at PRNewswire:
Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: DMC) ("DSS"), a leader in proven, patented protection against counterfeiting and unauthorized copying, scanning and photo imaging, announced today that the Spanish Commercial (Mercantile) Court in Madrid, ruled that the Company's European Patent No 0455750B1 (the "Patent") is valid in Spain. The judgment is the outcome of a 3 day hearing held during June - July, 2008.
The ECB failed in its attempt to have the patent invalidated on grounds of novelty, inventive step and most importantly found no grounds for added matter which has until now been the only reason for invalidation in other countries. The decision allows Document Security Systems, Inc. to pursue patent infringement proceedings against the ECB and security printers in Spain.
