Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering said on April 24 that it has won its patent suit in Japan related to its core technology in building LNG carriers.
The shipyard said that a filing by a Japanese firm with the Japanese Patent Office to nullify the Korean shipyard’s patent for the so-called Partial Re-liquefaction System was dismissed.
DSME registered the patent for the PRS technology in Japan in June 2016.
The same technology was also registered as a patent in 10 countries such as the US, China and India.
