ISELIN, N.J., Nov. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ansell Ltd, a global leader in protection solutions, today announced that on 14 November 2014 the Company and Ansell Healthcare Products LLC (together "Ansell") filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Reckitt Benckiser (Australia) Pty Limited ("Reckitt") and other related parties ("Respondents"). The action, filed in the New South Wales District Registry of the Federal Court of Australia, asserts that Reckitt has infringed Australian Patent No. 2009241426, titled "Dip-formed Synthetic Polyisoprene Latex Articles with Improved Intraparticle and Interparticle Crosslinks ("the Patent")."
The Patent was applied for on 27 April 2009 and granted on 6 September 2012. Since on or about October 2013, Reckitt has imported a competitive, non-latex condom product branded with the name "Durex® RealFeel™" into Australia. Ansell believes the "Durex RealFeel" condom infringes a number of claims of the Patent, resulting in damage to Ansell, including loss of sales to Ansell's non-latex SKYN® condom product.
Ansell is requesting a final order restraining the Respondents from, among other things, engaging in the following acts within Australia during the term of the Patent, without the licence or authority of Ansell:
In addition, Ansell is seeking, among other orders:
"Ansell is a global leader in the development and commercialization of condoms and surgical gloves utilizing patented polyisoprene technology," stated Jeyan Heper, President and General Manager of the Ansell Sexual Wellness Global Business Unit (GBU). "The Company has made significant R&D investments in this technology and related patents and this lawsuit seeks to protect these investments."
Ansell is represented by Spruson & Ferguson Lawyers Pty Ltd.
