Avery Dennison files patent infringement suit against UPM Raflatac
Avery Dennison has filed a lawsuit in Germany against UPM Raflatac, asserting that Raflex MDO infringes Avery Dennison’s patent on its Global MDO pressure-sensitive film product.
In the suit, Avery Dennison asks the German court to prevent UPM Raflatac from manufacturing, marketing or selling Raflex MDO without a licence.
Global MDO is protected under patents granted in both Europe and China, and has patent applications pending in the US and Brazil.
Avery Dennison’s Global MDO (machine direction oriented) technology provides high conformability with range of packaging shapes, while maintaining printing and decoration capabilities. Global MDO film was launched in September 2011.
