Concrete Canvas – Eurobent Preliminary Injunction upheld

PRESS RELEASE

CONCRETE CANVAS PATENT SUCCESS AS PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AGAINST EUROBENT/TILTEX™ UPHELD BY APPEAL COURT.


02 JULY 2018

In April, a Polish court issued a preliminary injunction against Eurobent Sp.zo.o – the manufacturer of Tiltex™ (a cement/sand filled GCL product marketed as a GCCM*) – to refrain from infringement of Concrete Canvas Technology Ltd.’s patent PL/EP 2027319.

The court of appeal in Wroclaw has rejected the appeal by Eurobent Sp.z o.o and upheld the preliminary injunction to refrain from infringement of Concrete Canvas Technology Ltd.’s patent.

The fine for non-compliance remains amongst the highest on record set by a Polish court for a case of this type.

Concrete Canvas wish to reiterate that they will seek to enforce their intellectual property rights where they have grounds to believe that they are being infringed by a manufacturer, distributor or otherwise.
