Maytronics Announces Patent Settlement with Chasing

Maytronics, Ltd., a global leader in the swimming pool industry and provider of robotic pool cleaners, pool safety products and water treatment systems, announced it has entered into a settlement agreement with Chasing Innovation Technology Co. Ltd. and Chasing Technology (USA) LLC, resolving claims of patent infringement related to Maytronics’ robotic pool cleaning technology, covered by U.S. Patent No. 10,378,229 and European Patent No. 2,845,969 and No. 2,706,170.

In October 2023, Maytronics filed a patent infringement complaint against Chasing in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Following a settlement between the parties, the complaint will be dismissed. In exchange for Maytronics dropping the lawsuit, Chasing will cease production and sales of robotic pool cleaners that use technology covered by Maytronics’ patents. The remaining terms of the settlement are confidential.

“We are pleased this matter has been resolved,” says Franck Sogaard, Maytronics’ chief revenue officer and president of Americas, EMEA and APAC. “Maytronics invests considerable time and resources to develop and protect technologies that not only differentiate its products in the market but also define trends in the market. With this settlement, Maytronics reinforces its commitment to protect its intellectual property and maintain its innovative edge in the global pool cleaning market.”
