HFCL responds to Sterlite infringement claims, calls it baseless
By MYBRANDBOOK
HFCL Limited and Sterlite Technologies (STL) are involved in a dispute with the latter alleging that HFCL is making a type of optical fibre cable for which it has a patent. STL, on Thursday has secured an ex-parte ad-interim injunction against HFCL in a patent infringement litigation filed in the Delhi High Court.
HFCL Limited, responding to the infringement claims made by Sterlite Technologies, has described the claim baseless. According to it, the claim is based on misleading information given by STL for registration of impugned Patent. The company says that the product in question has been manufactured and used globally by a multitude of Corporations for more than the last fifteen years and patent claims made by STL have no veracity, whatsoever. In fact, STL’s application on a similar patent was rejected by the European Union.
HFCL claims that it has been manufacturing the Multi-tube Micro Cable since 2014 as per customer specifications much before the date of application of patent by STL and confirms that there is no infringement of the impugned Patent.
An HFCL spokesperson said, “HFCL has the highest-standards of corporate governance & integrity and adherence to the law. The Company says that the STL’s claim holds no-merit and it has more than strong defense to present the same in the court to vacate the ex-parte interim restrain order. We have not only prayed for the vacation of the said ex-parte interim restrain order in court but also for rejecting the STL’s infringement claims. We will also protect our interest from any such future claims arising out of misleading information. Also, the sale of impugned product has had very little contribution to the overall market share of OFC that the Company has in India and Abroad.”
STL, on the other hand, has claimed that the multitube micro cable technology is a part of its optical networking solutions and that the product was researched and developed in-house and has been integral to many large scale digital networks built by the company’s diverse customer base.
