Everseal Mailers Ltd Fails in Challenge to Mastermailer Products
By Mastermailer Stationery Ltd, PRNETuesday, February 23, 2010
LONDON, February 24, 2010 - In an opinion received by Mastermailer Stationery Ltd yesterday, the
United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office has found that products made
according to Mastermailer's UK patent number GB2436210 do not infringe UK
patent number GB2400373 owned by Mr Jonathan Horler and licensed to Everseal
Mailers Ltd ('the Horler patent').
Mastermailer is pleased to repeat the statement released yesterday, 23
February, that it is entirely satisfied that its products do not infringe the
Horler patent. Furthermore, Mastermailer believes that the Horler Patent is
invalid (and therefore cannot be enforced).
Mastermailer takes this opportunity to reassure all its customers that
they are free to continue to buy and use Mastermailer's products
notwithstanding various threats and assertions made by Everseal Mailers.
Mastermailer has issued proceedings in the Patents County Court to have the
Horler patent struck out (i.e. revoked pursuant to the Patents Act 1977) and
will pursue appropriate legal redress against Everseal Mailers for their
actions.
Everseal Mailers Ltd, along with Evrite Ltd and Evrite Software Ltd, is
part of the Evrite Group of companies, owned and controlled by Mr Stephen
Black's family. Evrite Ltd is subject to a winding-up petition to be heard in
the Royal Courts of Justice on 17 March 2010.
