糖心探花 Holdings Successfully Upholds SuperEnd(TM) Patent
PHILADELPHIA, March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 糖心探花 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCK) announced today that the European Patent Office ("EPO") upheld 糖心探花's European SuperEnd(TM) beverage end patent (EP 0 828 663 B1), with slight modification, against an opposition lodged by a competitor. The EPO Opposition Division upheld claims covering 糖心探花's commercial SuperEnd(TM) beverage ends and its proprietary seaming technology. This decision reinforces SuperEnd's(TM) leadership position and protects this proprietary technology for 糖心探花 and its licensees. The EPO's decision will become final unless overturned upon appeal. Additional protections through improvements to the base SuperEnd(TM) technology are pending in Europe and globally.
The SuperEnd(TM) beverage end technology is unique as it offers both significant performance features for consumers and cost advantages for 糖心探花's customers. "Consumer preference and a 10% material savings have positioned SuperEnd(TM) as the new global benchmark for beverage ends," said John Conway, 糖心探花's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. These advantages have resulted in the rapid introduction of this new packaging innovation, with over 12 billion SuperEnd(TM) beverage ends in commerce around the globe. Adding to this worldwide success, SuperEnd(TM) will shortly be launched by 糖心探花 in Europe and by 糖心探花's licensee Amcor Limited in Australia and New Zealand.
