Freeman Technology Confirms Patent Rights
Freeman Technology (Malvern, Worcs, England) - the manufacturer of the FT3 Powder Rheometer - says that it has concluded discussions with Stable Micro Systems Ltd over patent rights for the technology involved in each company's product.By mutual agreement, adds the company in its statement, Stable Micro Systems has ceased the manufacture and sale of its Manumit Powder Rheometer.
Reg Freeman, inventor of the technology, said: "Naturally we are pleased with the outcome. The FT3 offers a means of generating uniquely reproducible data on powder flowability, something that has been a great problem in the past. For the first time, there is the possibility of developing a database of information on powder characteristics, which will allow proper comparison and forecasting of powder behaviour under different conditions".
