Court Rules in Favour of Ultraframe

The Court of Appeal has today ruled that Eurocell have infringed Ultraframe’s patent rights and breached the design rights in its Ultralite 500 roofing technology and the Ultralite 500 system. Ultraframe now expect that Eurocell will be ordered to pay Ultraframe costs and multi million pound damages and to withdraw its product from the market.

Ultraframe plc Group Technical Director, Chris Richardson: “This is fantastic news for Ultraframe. We are strongly committed to investing in long-term product development and design innovation, along with patent protection and continuously raising quality standards. We believe that it is in the best interests of our employees, customers, shareholders and the industry as a whole that we protect these investments. This judgment reinforces the fact that companies cannot win in this market with copycat products and we hope it will deter other organizations from attempting to do so”.
