To consistently enforce its intellectual property rights in more than 20 countries and to ensure fair market conditions, Buss has initiated legal proceedings in Brazil against a Chinese machine manufacturer, as well as in Turkey against a major cable manufacturer using that manufacturer’s machines.

Philip Nising, Buss President+CEO: “For 80 years, we have made significant investments in research and development to provide our customers with world-leading solutions. Innovation is the foundation of our success. Patent infringements in our industry not only undermine our innovative strength but also jeopardize the integrity of the market. Therefore, we will pursue our rights in key markets worldwide with full determination and keep our partners informed about relevant developments. Given the evidence collected, Buss is confident that the pending proceedings will help clarify and strengthen the protection of its technology in various jurisdictions.”
