California-based Wyatt Technology Corporation is filing of a lawsuit against Malvern Instruments, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectris, of London, UK.

The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, requests the Federal Court to halt further infringement of Wyatt's copyrighted software and other materials by its competitor Malvern Instruments, Inc. Wyatt also seeks damages for false advertising by Malvern, which is allegedly using third party test data to promote its Zetasizer Nano Systems.

However, Paul Walker, managing director of Malvern Instruments Ltd, said the action being pursued by Wyatt Technology Corporation is completely unfounded. "Malvern Instruments maintains the highest standards in all its business activities and will be mounting a vigorous challenge to this action," he said.
