Epsilon Composite wins patent infringement lawsuit against CTC Global

Epsilon Composite is pleased to announce it won the lawsuit initiated in 2018 by CTC Global regarding an alleged infringement of ACCC® patent (ref EP1506085) by the HVCRC® technology related to advanced conductors.

CTC Global complaint was dismissed in courts, and CTC Global was sentenced by the judge to pay a fair compensation to Epsilon Composite.

On Epsilon Composite’s request, the European Patent Office revoked CTC Global’s patent EP1506085. The decision to revoke this patent was confirmed in appeal and is now final. It applies to all European countries the patent was covering. This decision excludes once and for all any patent infringement allegation from CTC Global against HVCRC® in Europe.

Once again, this decision comforts Epsilon Composite in its position of leading innovative company in the composite industry, with a strong experience in the energy sector. With over 100 patents worldwide and more than 10% of its turnover invested in R&D every year, Epsilon Composite is continuously innovating to solve utilities infrastructure challenges over the world.

This decision will support a fair business environment and a healthy competition driving innovation and continuous improvement of power grids.

We’d like to thank our staff and partners who contributed to the worldwide success of HVCRC® advanced conductors.
