ORANGEBURG, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EuroMed Inc. and Jentec Inc. today announced an important victory affirming the validity of a key patent, European patent number 1020198 (U.S. corresponding patent number 6878385) for Wrinkle-Resistant Wound dressings. In a ruling issued by the European Patent Office in Berlin, Germany, both of the grounds for opposition raised by the plaintiff, a prominent wound care manufacturer (i.e., extension of subject-matter, lack of ‘inventive step’ or sufficient originality) were not adequate cause to challenge the patent. EuroMed is a leading designer and manufacturer of wound care management products, and one of a select few custom hydrocolloid manufacturers providing comprehensive private labeling services.
