Greenshift claims patent infringement
Posted Feb. 18, 2010
GreenShift Clean Tech Corp. is getting serious about protecting its corn oil extraction technology, filing two suits in the same week that it gained a third patent. GS Clean Tech issued a complaint to United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana on Feb. 12, suing Cardinal Ethanol LLC for infringing on GreenShift’s U.S. patent regarding corn oil technology. Four days later, GS Clean Tech issued a complaint to the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, against Big River LLC suing, again, for infringing on GreenShift’s corn oil technology.
********
Even with both complaints now issued and the cases pending, GreenShift released more patent
news on Feb. 16. A Notice of Allowance was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for GreenShift’s third patent on its corn oil extraction technologies. David Winsness, GreenShift’s chief technology officer, said that “we are excited to be receiving this third patent as it further strengthens our first mover technology position. While we have many additional applications pending, our issued patents are generally directed to mechanical extraction of oil from concentrated stillage.”

Nice Article in the Ethanol Industry's leading publication of record. It is balanced - reporting and quoting both sides. Nice. I am waiting for the rest of the media - even outside the industry - to report this key David vs. Goliath story. Luckily one of the rocks in our sling is multiple approved U.S. patents!
