IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING ECOVENTI

In July 2025, the Appeal Patent Court of Madrid, Spain, has confirmed the previous decision from the Patent Court of Madrid, of July 2024, which condemned the company Ecoventi Sistemas S.L. for infringement of Megaplast’s patent EP 1 989 044 (“Patent”) for manufacturing several films that reproduce the claimed characteristics. In accordance, Ecoventi Sistemas S.L. has also been condemned to compensate Megaplast S.A for the damages caused since 2018, which, according to preliminary calculations, MEGAPLAST estimates to exceed 11.000.000 euros.

This is the second time that Ecoventi Sistemas S.L. has been convicted of infringing Megaplast's Patent, this time in relation to a new family of products replacing the one previously found to infringe the same Patent. In October 2016, the Patent Court of Barcelona, Spain, issued a decision in favor of Megaplast S.A. on patent infringement against Ecoventi Sistemas S.L., which was confirmed by the Court of Appeal of Barcelona in May 2018 and by the Supreme Court in 2021.

In said first court proceeding, Megaplast S.A. is seeking compensation for the damages suffered in the period 2014-2018, which Megaplast, S.A. values in an amount of no less than 8.000.000 Euros.

Megaplast enjoys the exclusive rights for packaging films as claimed in EP 1 989 044, whereas third parties are prohibited from producing, selling or offering for sale products making use of the subject matter of EP 1 989 044 without Megaplast’s consent.

We remain at your disposal should you need any clarifications on the abovementioned issue.

Sincerely,
MEGAPLAST GROUP
