NORTH CANTON, Ohio,
July 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) today announced
that the International Trade Commission (ITC) has upheld a
preliminary ruling on a patent infringement claim by Nautilus
Hyosung related to automated teller machines (ATMs). In the
ruling, Diebold Nixdorf defeated
three of four retaliatory patent infringement claims brought by the
Korea-based company. On the fourth claim, the ITC found a technical
violation of a Hyosung U.S. patent involving legacy Wincor
technology.
Diebold Nixdorf disagrees with
the decision as it relates to the one technical violation involving
Wincor technology and will appeal. However, this ruling has
no bearing on existing products in the market, and Diebold Nixdorf has developed a new and improved
version of the product that is not affected by this patent which
will be used in future sales.
Hyosung, a Korean corporation which does not manufacture its
ATMs in the United States, filed
these recent claims in response to Diebold
Nixdorf's patent infringement case against it. In that
case, the ITC has already found that Hyosung infringes two Diebold
patents and concluded that there is "strong circumstantial evidence
that Hyosung had knowledge of Diebold's patented technology, copied
it, and encouraged its customers to use it in an infringing way."
Diebold Nixdorf is headquartered in
the United States with a history
in the country spanning nearly 160 years. The company has
been manufacturing ATMs domestically for more than 40 years.
After appeal, these intellectual property disputes will move to
federal district court, where each company will have a U.S. jury
decide whether infringement occurred and what damages are owed.
As the world leader in financial self-service and connected
commerce, Diebold Nixdorf reiterates
its dedication to providing innovative solutions that help
customers connect to consumers in the
United States and around the world. Diebold Nixdorf is steadfastly committed to
innovation and will pursue all available avenues to protect its
intellectual property.
