Beijing Higher Court rules in favor of Merck Millipore in patent infringement case
“We are pleased by the judgment rendered in this case,” noted Bernard Arend, VP of Merck Millipore’s Lab Water Business. “It is a very positive indicator that Chinese authorities and the Chinese legal system recognize the importance of intellectual property rights for both foreign companies trading in the country and Chinese domestic companies trading globally. We invest tens of millions of dollars in research every year to create a portfolio of products superior to and differentiated from our competitors. In addition we invest a significant amount of money to patent many of the inventions incorporated into those products. We will continue to actively protect our patents.”
