Honeywell Wins Injunction Against Ex-Licensee's Conveyor Belt Sales
Honeywell has successfully persuaded the Unified Patent Court to halt sales of certain conveyor belts by its former licensee in several European nations. The decision was made on September 22, 2026. According to reports, Honeywell argued that its agreement with the ex-licensee was no longer valid, and therefore, the sale of these specific conveyor belts should be prohibited.
The Unified Patent Court has accepted Honeywell's argument and granted an injunction against the former licensee. This means that any future sales of these conveyor belts in countries covered by the UPC will not be allowed. The decision is seen as a significant win for Honeywell, which had been seeking to protect its intellectual property rights.
Honeywell had previously licensed the technology for the conveyor belts to the ex-licensee, but it appears that this agreement has now come to an end. The company's efforts to stop further sales of these specific conveyor belts suggest a desire to prevent any potential infringement on its patents or trademarks.
