Battenfeld Chen Extrusion Systems, SMS Plastics Technology Group's JV in China, sued Dongguan Weltec Machinery Ltd. in an action to protect its technology. Dong-guan Weltec, a unit of Cosmos Machinery Enterprises Ltd., a publicly traded com-pany in Hong Kong, is accused of violating intellectual property rights with respect to a single screw polyethylen pipe extrusion line.

In the le-gal action, the Foshan Middle Court seized the copied machinery, and issued a sub-poena to Dongguan Weltec on October 29, 2003. According to Battenfeld Chen, it was discovered that Dongguan Weltec Machinery approached Battenfeld's suppliers a year ago last September with drawings in an effort to build essentially exact copies of Battenfeld technology.
