A-Ward win court battle over sale of Container Tilters in the UK

August 9, 2021 | Recycling

After an extremely long legal battle,  A-Ward have won their case regarding patent infringement by Fabcon on their range of container tilters.  This means that Fabcon are not allowed to sell their tilter in the UK by law.  A-Ward tilters are a fully patented product and we believe them to be the best in the business.  Their revolutionary tilting loaders for example, allow you to fill up every last inch of your shipping containers – and do it fast so you’ll save time and money.   Further details regarding the case are given in the link below.  Should you need any additional details on  container loaders and unloaders or have concerns regarding the recent court decision then please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

To whom it may concern,
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The High Court of England and Wales has ruled that the Fabcon container
tilter infringes A Ward’s European Patent (UK) 2 021 268 and that sale of the tilter in England
and Wales is prohibited by law.
Fabcon Engineering has been restrained, whether acting by itself, its servants or agents, from
disposing of, or offering to dispose of such container tilting devices in England and Wales. The
order of the Honourable Judge Melissa Clarke is enclosed, which includes the following warning
notice:
ANY OTHER PERSON WHO KNOWS OF THIS ORDER AND DOES ANYTHING WHICH HELPS OR
PERMITS THE DEFENDANT TO BREACH THE TERMS OF THIS ORDER MAY ALSO BE HELD TO BE
IN CONTEMPT OF COURT AND MAY BE IMPRISONED, FINED OR HAVE THEIR ASSETS SEIZED.
For further details, please find a link to the Honourable Judge Melissa Clarke’s Judgment on 29
