Dummen USA to receive utility patent for multi-species cutting liners

Dümmen USA’s application for a utility patent on its RED FOX Confetti Garden multi-species vegetative cutting liners will soon be granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. A utility patent is meant to protect new inventions. The patent permits the patent owner to exclude others from making, selling or using an invention for up to 20 years from the date of application without written consent.
In the case of Dummen’s multi-species cutting liners, the application date was July 14, 2008. Granting of this patent will result in multi-species cutting liners having to be either Dümmen USA product or be licensed by Dümmen USA for use by other companies.
Dümmen USA will quickly open negotiations with other suppliers of multi-species cutting liners to authorize any of their products covered by the utility patent. A key goal for Dümmen USA in these negotiations is ensuring that existing and confirmed orders of multi-species cutting liners for spring 2011 can be supplied without extra costs for growers.
Dümmen USA requests that any suppliers of multi-species cutting liners contact managing director Perry Wismans to inquire about obtaining a license.
