Välinge Responds to Classen Legal Action

Viken, Sweden, June 21, 2010--Välinge said it has filed an infringement suit in Düsseldorf against Classen Megaloc products.

This new legal action is a continuation of the U.S. action that Välinge filed against Classen and its Megaloc fold down locking system some months ago based on two US patents.

Välinge initiated its legal actions as response to a legal action that Classen initiated against Välinge and one of its licensees in the U.S.

"We believe that some of our licensees that do not have an indemnification from Classen have been accused in an unjustified way and that comprehensive counteractions are necessary," said Darko Pervan, Välinge CEO.
