UK-based Tech-ni-Fold has prevented a third US company from continuing to sell a device that Tech-ni-Fold believes infringes its Tri-Creaser patents. Rosback Company, Michigan, will be discontinuing its current design of its TrueScore-Pro and TrueScore-Pro Quad products.
Tech-ni-Fold said it has decided to publicise the details in order to defuse confusion within the market and send an important message that it will stand up against unauthorised copying of its patented technology.
The recent events come almost two years after Tech-ni-Fold reached a settlement of an infringement lawsuit against Update and D&R Bindery Solutions, both of Chaska, Minnesota. Under the terms of that settlement, Update agreed to cease manufacturing its Ultimate Score product and its consumable components. Update also discontinued sales of its then-current Ultimate Score design in April of 2012.
