Federal Court Halts VIM Sales Over Patent Infringement Claim

The injunction, entered by the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire on March 30, 2009, brings to a successful conclusion one of several patent infringement claims initiated by Presstek in various jurisdictions against VIM Technologies, Ltd., an Israeli-based manufacturer, and its distributors. This is the second Order that Presstek has obtained against a U.S. distributor barring the sale of VIM printing plates. Presstek also has patent infringement claims pending against VIM and against several other VIM distributors, including Spicers Paper, Inc., Recognition Systems, Inc., Guaranteed Service & Supplies, Inc., and AteCe Canada.
