Bayer CropScience AG Ends Patent Infringement Dispute with Jiangsu Tianrong Group Co. Ltd. and Yixing Hua Dong Agrochemical Company Ltd

Bayer CropScience AG has successfully ended a patent infringement dispute in China with Jiangsu Tianrong Group Co. Ltd. and Yixing Hua Dong Agrochemical Company Ltd. and in so doing has defended its patent for the safener mefenpyr. Bayer CropScience had initiated litigation against Tian Rong and Hua Dong for infringing its mefenpyr patent. In January 2009, the Wuxi intermediate court of first instance ruled in favor of the Bayer subgroup. The two defendants appealed the decision to Jiangsu High Court in March. Recently, the decision of the first instance court became effective due to the withdrawal of the appeal by Tian Rong and Hua Dong. Under Jiangsu High Court's mediation, a settlement was reached between Bayer CropScience and the two companies, under which Tian Rong and Hua Dong undertook to cease the infringing acts. Bayer CropScience will further receive damages and a public apology from the infringer.
