Print-Rite annually spends $50-million in RMB and R&D, consisting of specialists in patent development and engineers. As of September 2014, more than 2,200 patents are registered worldwide. Print-Rite has also been honored as ‘The Biggest Patent Portfolio’ among all aftermarket manufacturers and ‘2013 Chinese Patent Award of Excellence’ by State Intellectual Property Office of the P.R.C. .

Print-Rite products reach the globe
Owing to a huge economic loss from patent lawsuits, the market is highly sensitive to the issue of patent. The Print-Rite NoTwist gear mechanism is available to the US market without any patent issues. This news has been embraced by the industry because of Print-Rite’s leading position in patent assurance. During REMAX 2014, Print-Rite will launch a PR-2 product range, providing greater patent assurance to the market. Greater patent assurance can help reduce patent infringement disputes.
About Section 337
Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 prohibits unfair acts and unfair methods of competition involving imports, and provides that the importation or sale of infringing goods in the United States is unlawful. The Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (the Act) amended Section 337 to make it easier and less expensive for domestic industries to prove a violation of Section 337 by showing that imported articles have infringed their U.S. patents and other federally registered intellectual property (IP) rights like trademarks or copyrights.
