Commercial, Pall Reach Agreement YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO- Commercial Intertech Corp. an- nounced its wholly-owned affiliate Cuno, Inc. had reached a settle- ment with the Pall Corp. of Glen Cove, New York, in its claim that Pall had infringed on certain nylon membrane patents. Pall agreed to pay Cuno $12 million for a paid-up license with respect to key patents in the pro- duction of nylon membrane. The parties also agreed to exchange worldwide releases for all prior ac- tivities in connection with nylon membrane products. Litigation pending in the U. K., France and Germany by each party will be ter- minated. Cuno sued Pall Corp. for in- fringement of their charged nylon membrane patents in September 1986. The suit was broadened in 1987 to include Cuno's basic nylon membrane patent. The trial began April 9, 1990 and the $12 million settlement was reached out of court during the trial. Paul Powers, chairman of Commercial Intertech said," We ini- tiated the suit to protect what we believe are excellent products with great growth potential. It is our corporate policy to vigorously de- fend our patents. While the issues were complex, we believe a fair so- lution was achieved and that Cuno will continue its exciting progress in the field of high tech filtration." Gaston Memorial Is Accredited Gaston Memorial Hospital has been awarded a two-year accredita- tion by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) based on the results of an on-site inspection. The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program is recog- nized by the federal government as being equal to or more stringent than the government's own inspec- tion program. Inspectors examine the records and quality control of the laborato- ry or the preceding two years. To assess how well the laboratory meets patient needs, the inspection includes laboratory facilities, equipment, and safety procedures, as well as the education and quali- fications of the total staff. Gaston Memorial Hospital labo- ratory is one of more than 4,000 CAP-accredited laboratories na- tionwide.
