austriamicrosystems scores success against Melexis
austriamicrosystems, based in Unterpremstätten (Austria) has scored a success against Melexis in a patent infringement lawsuit.
The District Court (Landgericht) in Duesseldorf (Germany) issued a decision in the patent infringement lawsuit regarding magnetic field encoder products against Melexis N.V. / SA (Belgium) and its German subsidiary Melexis GmbH fully in favor of austriamicrosystems.
In its first-instance verdict the court established that the sale and distribution of products from Melexis´ product family of magnetic field encoders in Germany infringes European Patent EP 0 916 074 B1 exclusively held by austriamicrosystems. The court decision can be appealed.
