VIM Disputes Presstek "Victory"

GREENWICH, CT—Digital offset printing solutions provider Presstek Inc. said that the International Trade Commission (ITC) has determined that VIM Technologies has violated U.S. Federal law by importing into the United States printing plates that infringe upon patents owned by Presstek.

In its finding, according to Presstek, the ITC affirmed the July 24, 2009, decision of Judge James Gildea, who ruled that Presstek’s patents for its printing plate technology are valid and enforceable and that VIM has been infringing Presstek’s legally protected rights by importing and selling these plates in the United States.
