German textile machinery giant Oerlikon Textile GmbH & Co. KG has solidified its technological footprint in the Indian market through a strategic licensing agreement. The company officially granted Himson Engineering Private Limited the sole license to manufacture and commercialize specific patented texturing technology within India. This critical development centres on the valid and subsisting Indian Patent No. 316763.

The patent specifically covers a "False-Twist Texturing Machine For The Texturing Of A Plurality Of Multifilament Threads". This advanced system is pivotal for the manmade fibre industry where texturizing increases the bulk and elasticity of synthetic yarns. Himson Engineering, the flagship entity of the Himson Bhogibhai Group based in Surat, now holds exclusive rights to deploy this innovation domestically. The agreement empowers the Indian manufacturer to produce, market, and sell machines utilizing this sophisticated system, leveraging its experience of over five decades.

Both Oerlikon and Himson Engineering Pvt. Ltd. have jointly issued a stern public notice regarding these intellectual property rights. They explicitly caution that unauthorized manufacturing, sales, or imports of products using this technology constitute infringement under the Patents Act, 1970. The two entities stated they will pursue strict legal action, including injunctions and recovery of lost profits, against any violators. Darshan Bachkaniwala, Director of Himson Engineering, represented the Indian partner in this significant announcement. This collaboration ensures that Indian textile producers gain access to authorized, high quality texturing solutions directly from a trusted domestic source.
