DIMA success creates panic at Nordson / Asymtek
DIMA success creates panic at Nordson / Asymtek
The ongoing success of DIMA Dispense Technology creates panic at Nordson. This panic seems to be so extreme that Nordson is sending out warning letters to existing and potential DIMA customers regarding the DIMA Jet valve. Nordson claims users of the DIMA Jet valves can get into legal problems with Nordson because they eventually might infringe their patents. This is contradictory since the DIMA Jet valve is produced under License of Nordson for all countries except for the USA.
First of all DIMA respects patents as long as they are rightfully owned with valid arguments granted. The DIMA patent attorney studied the claims of Nordson and concluded that the methods used by DIMA do not infringe with the patents of Nordson. Nordson is also claiming several methods. Further investigation of the Nordson patent resulted in the finding of 3 patents describing the Jet valve as patented by Nordson. Those patents are of an earlier date than the Nordson patent. Therefore the Nordson patent can be waived. As you can see success can lead to strange actions of your competitors.
