VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RavenQuest BioMed Inc. (CSE: RQB OTCQB: RVVQF Frankfurt: 1IT) (the “Company” or “RavenQuest”). On November 6, 2019 the Company announced that it and others have been sued in the Federal Court of Canada for alleged patent infringement of a stackable modular orbital gardening patent recently issued to Roto-Gro Inc. (https://rqbglobal.com/ravenquest-to-defend-claim-by-roto-gro/).
Today the Company announced that it has served Roto-Gro Inc. with its Statement of Defence and Counterclaim and that the pleading has been filed with the Federal Court. The Company strenuously denies any infringement of Roto-Gro Inc.’s alleged patent rights and has counterclaimed against Roto-Gro Inc. seeking, among other things, a declaration of invalidity of the recent patent upon which Roto-Gro, Inc. relies.
