In mid-July 2020, in a legal dispute, Shanghai Intellectual Property Court in China ruled in favour of Rieter Ingolstadt (Germany). Rieter, world’s leading supplier of systems for short-staple fibre spinning, protects its innovations and products with patents and registered designs. The company takes consistent action against patent and design infringements.
 
Rieter machines stand for outstanding quality, high operational safety, excellent performance and user-friendliness as well as unique design. In order to benefit from these characteristics, competitors copy the successful Rieter machine concepts and even adopt the coveted Rieter design. 
 
Rieter protects its innovations by means of patents and registered designs. The company takes consistent action against companies that infringe Rieter patents or designs and copy products or machines. 
 
In 2018, Rieter registered design infringements by Shenyang Hongda Textile Machinery Co Ltd in relation to double-head draw frames, and decided to file a lawsuit against the Chinese company. In mid-July 2020, the Shanghai Intellectual Property Court of the China determined that the double-head draw frames JWF1316 and JWF1316T of Shenyang Hongda Textile Machinery Co Ltd are similar to and fall within the scope of protection of the design patent concerned. The defendant Shenyang Hongda Textile Machinery Co Ltd was sentenced to compensate the plaintiff Rieter Ingolstadt for financial losses and expenses.
