Invista snaps up dual core patents

15/05/2017
Polymer and fibre manufacturer Invista has purchased the dual core patent portfolios of Cone Denim and its parent company, International Textile Group (ITG). It is effective immediately.

The patent covers a range of dual core yarns, fabrics and garments made from those fabrics. They are primarily sold in the US, China and Europe.

"Given the growth of dual core technology in recent years, we are excited to add this technology to the Invista patent estate," said Jean Hegedus, director of Invista’s denim business. He added that the company sees this move as a logical expansion if its dual core portfolio.
