Velocys, the company at the forefront of smaller scale gas-to-liquids (GTL), announces that the UK High Court has ordered an immediate injunction restraining CompactGTL’s infringing activities and payment of approx. £1.4m to Velocys.
Following the UK High Court’s ruling upholding the Velocys patents in suit and judging CompactGTL to be infringing them both the Court has now ordered an immediate injunction restraining CompactGTL from infringing the patents or enabling, procuring, or assisting any third party to infringe the patents.
In addition to being used at its Wilton plant in the UK, CompactGTL confirmed to the Court that the same infringing technology was the subject of its activities with Petrobras (CompactGTL operated a demonstration plant at a Petrobras facility in Aracaju, Brazil).
