Copycat tread leads to Bridgestone lawsuit

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations has filed a patent infringement and unfair trade practices suit against US based retreader and price-driven online tyre retailer TreadWright, claiming the company copied the tread design on its Dueler A/T Revo tyre, which is protected by a 2003 patent. According to Bridgestone, TreadWright initially used the design on its Sentinel tyre. After it issued a cease-and-desist letter to the company in 2013, TreadWright stopped selling that tyre and released a new tyre, called the Watchman, which, according to Bridgestone, had the same tread design.

Since the company’s founding in 1953, Cima Impianti has specialised in the manufacture of retreading machinery and facilities. A particular focus has been vulcanisation presses and moulds for mould cure retreading; a specific product portfolio that Cima Impianti, with a touch of pride, refers to as the “most extensive in the industry.” Building upon this position, which the company has earned within the industry over a number of years, the Pistoia (near Florence, in Italy’s Tuscany region) based firm has pursued a new path over the past five years and invested heavily in developing machinery for OTR tyre retreading. Along with vulcanisation presses for the retreading of up to 63-inch tyres, Cima Impianti currently also supplies five-axis CNC buffing machines for giant tyres and extruders for OTR tyre retreading.
