Andritz Oy has filed a summons application with the Stockholm District Court
against Valmet AB, a subsidiary of Valmet Corporation, regarding patent
infringement. In the claim Andritz is asking that Valmet under a penalty ceases
to utilize the patent allegedly infringing Andritz's patent and the Court to
impose royalty and damages on Valmet AB with EUR 52 million and interest for the
alleged infringement.
In previous correspondence between Valmet and Andritz, Valmet has disputed the
claims of infringement as unfounded. Valmet's standpoint is based on a thorough
analysis of Andritz's patent and its scope. Furthermore, the validity of
Andritz's patent has been challenged by Valmet, and that matter is awaiting a
decision from the Swedish Court of Patent Appeals.
No provisions have been made concerning the claim.
