Presstek Sues to Protect Patent Rights

HUDSON, NH—Digital offset solutions provider Presstek has filed a complaint with the Düsseldorf District Court in Germany against Israeli printing plate manufacturer VIM Technologies, contending infringement of its patent rights.

Last February, Presstek filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) against VIM and several of its distributors. The filing led to an investigation by the ITC into Presstek’s patent and trademark infringement claims. Presstek is seeking an order from the ITC forbidding the importation and sale of VIM printing plates.
