Global chemical company Celanese has taken legal action against a Chinese manufacturer of high-potency sweeteners that is allegedly infringing one of its patents.
In its announcement on October 15, Celanese said it had filed a patent infringement claim against Anhui Jinhe Industrial for the "unlawful manufacture and sale" of its acesulfame potassium sweetener.
Anhui Jinhe’s sweetener allegedly infringes Celanese' s Chinese patent (Chinese number 10,441,1693,B) which is directed to improve production processes for making Celanese' s acesulfame potassium sweetener, Sunett.
According to the release, Sunett is 200-times sweeter than sugar, zero-calorie and dental-friendly.
Celanese said the patent provides "substantial technology advantages’’ that are recognised as exclusive to the company.
