Chemical company Eastman is claiming it has been successful in defending a patent to manufacture a range of branded polyethylene terephlate (PET) resins for beverage packaging.

According to the company, rival Wellman had sought an injunction at the US district court alleging Eastman had infringed patent infringement on some resins that are designed to provide a clear and environmentally efficient package.

The motion was denied by the court.
