Since being issued in 1998, the Breeze Dried ™ Patent # 5,813,137 has consistently been found valid and has withstood every legal challenge to the validity of its claims.
The principals and officers of Breeze Dried Inc. will not allow this patent to be contravened and/or ignored.
Please be aware it is an infringement of the Breeze Dried ™ patent to manufacture, to sell or to use stacking sticks employing a series of ridges and grooves to enhance air-circulation.
We know that some unscrupulous suppliers are providing look-a-like Breeze Dried ™ sticks, and are creating the impression that there is no royalty liability involved. Be assured that this is not the case!
Our lawyers at Pillsbury, Winthrop LLP in Washington, DC assure us that a royalty is owed on any and every stacking stick obtained from vendors other than Breeze Dried, Inc. of Tillsonburg, Ontario. We of course, are prepared to take legal action to secure payments if such action would actually be required.
Protect yourself and your company from legal ramifications by insisting on authentic Breeze Dried ™ products supplied directly from Breeze Dried Inc.
Please contact us if you have acquired sticks in such a way that you feel may violate this patent.
