Patent Registrar Rejects OGI’s Opposition to Sarin Patent

Sarin Technologies has announced that the Israeli Patent Registrar has rejected OGI Systems’ opposition to its patent application, “Laser Marking on Diamonds.” The decision concludes a four-year opposition proceeding and will allow Sarin to enforce this patent against all infringers in Israel, where its operations are based.

The registrar’s decision also awarded Sarin costs and legal fees, to be paid by OGI Systems. According to Israeli Patents Law, OGI may now appeal the decision to the District Court.

"We believe that following the dismissal of OGI Systems' opposition, the patent will be finally granted to Sarin,” commented Sarin CEO Zeev Leshem.

”It will protect, also in Israel, a wide range of our innovative technologies in the field of rough planning and laser-marking products and will put an end to the infringing manufacture and sale, in Israel, of our competitors' products that attempted to reap the success of our best selling products in the DiaMark family," Leshem concluded.
