Avient Protective Materials B.V. initiated an infringement action against Xingi Technology Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Jiuzhou Xingji High-Performance Fiber Products Co., Ltd., collectively known as the Xingi Group. The case involves the alleged infringement of European patent n° 2 791 402, related to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) multifilament yarn. Avient argued that Xingi Group's products, 'Xingi UD Fibers', 'Xingi UD Fabrics', and 'Xingi UD Panels', infringe claims 2-4, 8-10, and 12-15 of the patent respectively. Xingi Group responded with a counterclaim for revocation of the patent, citing invalidity.
