Muller Martini Sues Goss

When Goss International Americas installed its SP-2500 saddle stitcher at a Banta facility in Minnesota, it crossed the line, according to Muller Martini. The technology used in that stitcher belongs to Muller Martini, the company contends.

So Muller Martini filed a patent suit against both Goss International and Goss International Americas in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota in Minneapolis. It is seeking damages and injunctive relief to halt further infringement of its technology.

Muller Martini, along with its sister company, Muller Martini Mailroom Systems, also filed a second suit against the Goss companies in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

This suit was for infringement of a control system patent. The machines involved in that case include Goss’ MagnaPak inserter machine and its SP saddle stitchers, which Muller Martini believes incorporates its patented technology.
