Maria Avery, CEMATEX Secretary General, acknowledges that complaints sometimes do arise at shows regarding competitive equipment suspected of being copied, but the important fact is that they are always dealt with quickly and fairly: “Actually, the trend shows that the number of complaints received is gradually dwindling, which is perhaps partly due to the growing acceptance that copying and counterfeiting is intrinsically wrong as well as having a negative impact on the progress of innovation generally in textile machinery.
“Furthermore, both ITMA and CITME have long-established and proud reputations as world-class events where visitors can experience the best and latest technology, based on genuine and thorough R&D work by the leading manufacturers.
We are convinced that ITMA ASIA + CITME 2008 will uphold this tradition, and the zero tolerance IPR measures being implemented will help to guarantee that we will succeed in our objective of stamping out patent infringements.”
