| Global Bio-Chem Technology Group Company Limited, Foley Hoag LLP, and Adduci, Mastriani & Schaumberg LLP Prevail in International Trade Commission Patent Infringement Investigation - Judge rules that Chinese biotechnology company GBT may continue to import lysine |
Jul 31, 2008 |
|
Washington, D.C. - July 31, 2008
SUMMARY
Global Bio-Chem Technology Group Company Limited and its affiliates (GBT), the largest lysine producer in China and the largest vertically integrated corn-based biochemical manufacturer in Asia, has prevailed after an evidentiary hearing before the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) in a patent infringement investigation brought by Ajinomoto Heartland LLC and Ajinomoto Co., Inc. (Ajinomoto). In today’s ruling, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) held that the claims of Ajinomoto’s two patents were invalid for failure to disclose the best mode of practicing the invention, thus finding no violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The ALJ also ruled that both patents were unenforceable because Ajinomoto had committed inequitable conduct. The law firms Foley Hoag LLP, Adduci, Mastriani & Schaumberg LLP and East Associates represent GBT in the investigation.
Li Weigang, Assistant General Manager of Global Bio-Chem Technology Group Company Limited, said, “We are pleased that the ALJ has determined that there was no violation of Section 337. Today’s ruling maintains continued competition in the marketplace, which will benefit American consumers during this time of rising food prices.”
