Cummins Successful in Recent Patent Action Against Turbo Lab

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announces successful legal actions against Turbo Lab for infringement of Cummins’ patents by the unauthorized marketing and selling of turbo nozzle rings, a critical component of the Holset® VGT™ turbo. Turbo Lab agreed Cummins’ patents were valid and infringed and, as part of the settlement, it further agreed to cease and desist purchasing, making and selling any nozzle ring product that infringes Cummins’ patents, and to destroy all existing infringing stock.

Innovation and generation of intellectual property have been a part of the Holset® VGT™ success since Cummins Turbo Technologies first pioneered the variable geometry technology for the commercial vehicle market in 1998. Cummins Turbo Technologies continues to invest in the development and protection of new technologies that advance its VGTTM turbos to provide customers dependable and reliable products that improve fuel economy and play a critical role in meeting more stringent emission regulations.

“For more than 100 years Cummins has created dependable quality power technologies and we are committed to defending our intellectual property for the success of our customers,” said Shon Wright, Vice President of Cummins Turbo Technologies. “With support from our global partners, we will continue to survey the global marketplace to ensure the company’s intellectual property is protected.”
