The European Patent Office has confirmed the validity of the “BeMicron®" patent
As innovative product, the BeMicron® coverall for cleanrooms is protected by a European patent.
The validity of the European patent protecting the BeMicron® coverall (patent EP 2303044) has recently been challenged during opposition proceedings before the European Patent Office.
The European Patent Office has however rejected the opponents’ arguments and has decided to maintain the patent. The European Patent Office has in particular deemed that this coverall for cleanrooms was new and inventive, and the validity of the patent has thus been confirmed.
This patents covers a coverall with an opening in the crotch area which allows the user, when the coverall is folded, to access grasping means in the internal side of the coverall. This technology allows the user to put on the coverall like a pull-over and without contamination of the external side.
This innovative coverall model is exclusive to SCALDIS.
