AmbaFlex wins patent case in China

Ambaflex says: “Fortunately, the Chinese government has been diligent in building an intellectual property protection system to reinforce IP protection which made it possible for us to protect our inventions.”

After several unanswered warning letters, AmbaFlex took its case to the Peoples court of China. The court ordered 'Hui Ge' to immediately stop producing patent-infringing products, destroy the described products in stock and delete any related promotional material. In addition, they ordered a full compensation for economic losses and right-maintaining expenses.

AmbaFlex waived the penalties to the Chinese beverage company who purchased the products from 'Hui Ge' and did not push for a request to remove the equipment from its production lines even though the court verdict gave the company the authority to do so. This has resulted in a healthy business relationship with a new end-user.

The company adds: “It is crucial for AmbaFlex to defend our technology and inventions. Protecting our patents ultimately serves the best interest of all our customers and our employees. With our new factory and offices in China we employ many Chinese workers and staff, therefore stopping these copyright infringements also serves in the interests of the People’s Republic of China. We are truly glad to experience such good cooperation from the Chinese government and legal system.”

AmbaFlex has installed close to 20,000 SpiralVeyors worldwide. Some of its largest projects are in China, with clients such as Nike, Alibaba Cainiao and Adidas. AmbaFlex also delivered over 20 spirals for a large and sophisticated eCommerce project for local firm Sunning.
