Presstek Announces ITC Victory in Patent Infringement Case

The Company said that the ruling found VIM in clear violation of the Presstek patents, and also found that VIM continued to manufacture and sell its infringing products despite knowing, as early as 2004, that the products might infringe Presstek’s patent rights. Judge Gildea also found VIM’s manufacturing partner, Hanita Coatings RCA, Ltd., liable for illegally inducing the infringement of Presstek’s patents and determined that the other respondents to the ITC proceeding, including Spicer’s Paper, Inc., Guaranteed Service and Supplies, Inc., Recognition Systems, Inc. and AteCe Canada should be banned from importing and selling the infringing VIM products in the United States.
