The judgement passed on 17-11-2010 against José Mª Seco Jareño (Plastimodul, Industrias del Herraje 3000 S.L.) for breach of the Indaux patent no.9702076, is now final, after the deadline for filing a new appeal expired. This final judgement judicially ratifies that the eccentric cam fixture is exclusive to Indaux and cannot be purchased in Spain from any other manufacturer or importer.

This is the third judgement in favour of Indaux since the process began in 2003, when hangers manufactured by said companies were detected, copying the TRASER-6 eccentric cam fixture model’s functions which are patent protected.

This November 2010 judgement that is now final, among other things, sentences José Mª Seco Jareño and his companies to immediately cease manufacturing and selling the hangers which infringe the patent, to the seizure of the hangers manufactured and to compensation for the damages caused to Indaux for the violation of industrial property rights.

The two Getaria Rowing Club boats, sponsored by Indaux, have had a successful start to the rowing season. The female crew is the clear leader on the Cantabrian female rowing scene, after becoming champions of Gipuzkoa and of the Basque Country, and runners-up in Spain, in the category of small rowing boats. More recently they have also won the Gipuzkoa and Basque Country championships in the rowing boat category.

The men’s team, in the ARC-2 rowing boat league, has won a major victory in the recent Pasajes regatta, and hopes to gain promotion to the ARC-1 league. We would like to congratulate both teams on such a magnificent start and wish them a very successful season.

In order to ensure quality control and monitoring of our own soft-closing technology, Indaux has implemented an innovative programme to mark the damper, which is at the heart of the Indamatic soft-closing system. This traceability procedure has been in place since July this year, and will enable us, by means of a code printed on the product itself, to identify the damper version, its manufacture date, the associated manufacture order and even the materials used to make it.

This entails a whole range of benefits and improvements, such as an individualised control by batch, improved stock management, control of the product’s evolution, as well as enabling us to very quickly detect, contain and analyse any incident. We intend to extend this traceability system to all other Indaux products.
