Nordson Corporation and HiQ Tech of Belgium have reached a settlement on HiQ Tech's infringement of Nordson's European patent EP1568418. Nordson has granted HiQ Tech a covenant not to sue for specific designs of hot melt modules under EP1568418.
This settlement is in keeping with the previous announcement by Ulrich Bender, director of packaging Europe, to offer a covenant not to sue/license to companies that have manufactured, marketed and/or sold modules, manifolds, and/or applicators in violation of Nordson's European patent EP1568418. While Nordson is willing to license various mounting interfaces covered by European patent EP1568418, Nordson will not be licensing the EasyOn or Bowtie mounting interface, which can be found on a number of Nordson product lines, including the SolidBlue and MiniBlue II applicators and modules.
