Danisco, Goldman, JetBlue: Intellectual Property
This article is for subscribers only.
Danisco A/S lost a U.S. court bid to invalidate a Novozymes A/S patent for an enzyme used in biofuel production, allowing the case to go to trial this year.
Novozymes is suing Danisco, which is subject to a takeover offer from DuPont Co., contending its smaller Danish rival infringes a patent on an alpha amylase enzyme that remains active in high temperatures. In counteraction, Danisco had asked the court for a summary judgment that the patent was invalid.
