3M (NYSE: MMM ) is
not taking kindly to a pair of European companies it claims are appropriating
its intellectual property. The company announced that it has filed two patent
infringement lawsuits in Germany against two local concerns, Metoxit and White
Peaks Dental Systems. 3M is alleging that both firms infringed its patents for
coloring liquids used in ceramic-based dental restorations.
In the case against Metoxit, it asserts that the company
infringed its Z-CAD, FlowPen, and Z-CAD Liquid HD coloring products, in
addition to zirconia CAD/CAM blocks sold under the Z-CAD name. With White
Peaks, 3M feels that that firm is guilty of infringing the rights connected
with the coloring liquid brands CopranColor, Copran Ultra-T Color,
MonolithColor, as well as zirconia CAD/CAM blocks sold under the Copran Zr
name. Read more.
