| Source: Tillotson Corporation
LEXINGTON, MA--(Marketwire - February 9, 2010) - Tillotson Corporation announced today that it
has assigned all of its rights, title and interest in European Patent No.
0456333 to Ansell Limited, including the right to sue infringers not
previously licensed by Tillotson, for damages for past infringement. The
assignment provides, however, that Tillotson Corporation retains all rights
to its existing license agreements concerning European Patent No. 0456333,
including but not limited to all rights to revenues, damages, attorneys'
fees or recovery of any kind related to its existing license agreements.
Tillotson continues to be the sole owner of US Patent No. Re-35,616, for
which Ansell also continues to be a non-exclusive licensee. Both patents
describe a comfortable synthetic nitrile latex disposable glove that
relaxes to conform to the hand soon after being donned. This invention was
developed by Tillotson Corporation founder Neil Tillotson and by Luc
Debecker, a chemist working for the Best Glove division of Tillotson.
