The Italian company Officine Meccaniche Pejrani srl made the installation of Newster-10 and Newster-5 apparatuses illegal in Yekaterinburg. The petition to this extent was sustained by Sverdlovsk Region Arbitration Court.

The company manufactures medical equipment, including medical waste recycling units.

Officine Meccaniche Pejrani srl went to court asking for the protection of its exclusive rights over the invention related to thermal sterilization/disinfection of waste (Russian Federation Patent 2128522) through forbidding the defendant (Germed Technologies) to import to Russia, sell, put into civil circulation, or store goods that use the said invention, including Newster-10 and Newster-5 and by making the defendant call off and destroy the said apparatuses at its own expense.

The plaintiff also submitted a petition for the security of the claim. The reason for placing such a petition with the court was that the plaintiff felt the defendant was violating the plaintiff’s exclusive rights by importing, selling or putting into civil circulation the apparatuses that use the patented invention.

Having looked into the parties’ arguments, Sverdlovsk Region Arbitration Court decided to sustain the petition and to seize Newster-10 and Newster-5 that Germed Technologies had at its disposal.
