The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), decided to uphold one of AGCO’s patents for its Fendt Momentum planter range.
The ruling denied Brazilian manufacturer Stara’s petition for an Inter Partes Review (IPR), which reinforces AGCO’s patents throughout the world. The petition referred to technology of the planter and seeder program of Stara.
“AGCO’s Farmer-First focus drives our teams to create products that meet the needs of farmers around the world,” said Kelvin Bennett, AGCO Senior Vice President, Engineering. “This ruling validates the integrity of AGCO’s intellectual property rights so we can continue providing farmers with AGO’s innovative and effective solutions.”
