Polymer and DS Smith reach agreement

Dudley, UK – 20th December, 2013 - In October 2011 Polymer Logistics brought an infringement action in the English courts against DS Smith, for infringement of Polymer's patent by DS Smith's "K-Roll" convertible dolly/pallet.  DS Smith brought a counter action against Polymer Logistics, claiming infringement of its patents by Polymer's dolly/pallet product the "Roll n' Pall".

Polymer Logistics and DS Smith are pleased to advise that they have now reached a settlement agreement which resolves the patent infringement actions brought by each party against the other.  As part of the settlement  going forward, Polymer Logistics will market and manufacture "K-Roll" and “Roll n' Pall” dolly-pallets and will own the associated intellectual property rights for these products.
