(IDEX Online) - Sarine Technologies Ltd has announced that it has filed additional lawsuits in India for patent and copyright infringement against manufacturers of IP-infringing Galaxy machines.
The company said that as part of these lawsuits, court-appointed commissioners recently conducted surprise inspections of various locations in Surat where such systems are allegedly being manufactured and/or used in violation of Sarine's patents and copyrights.
"It is encouraging to see the drop in the response time of the Indian authorities to the problem of piracy in the market," said Sarine CEO David Block. "In only a matter of days, the commissioners were appointed and sites inspected with police assistance so that our cases can proceed through the courts."
Sarine's products include the Galaxy?, (R) family of inclusion mapping systems, rough diamond planning optimisation systems, laser cutting and shaping systems, laser-marking and inscription machines and polished diamond clarity, color, cut and light performance grading tools and visualization systems.
