March 16, 2011 - PRLog -- In response to a press note circulated by WIPRO (WCCLG) on an alleged infringement, Mr. R. Guruprasad, Director – Finance & Admin at V3 said “V3 has been in the business of designing and manufacture of Modular Office furniture for more than 15 years.

V3 is the first company in India to obtain Design patents of Furniture and Fixtures for various products as early as 2002. V3 is also the first furniture manufacturing company to obtain an ISO certification for “Design, Manufacture, Supply and Installation” of all its Modular Furniture products in the year 2003.”

He also said, “The said design in question is completely different from the one in V3’s product stable in Design, Construction, Material and Dimension.”

“It is also pertinent to note that the product of V3 which is being cited by WIPRO (WCCLG) was developed by V3 and used for a few projects as early as 2002 and has been catalogued by V3 since then. WIPRO were one of V3’s customers till 2005 for Modular furniture.

V3 is one of the pioneers of Modular Furniture with abundant in-house Design AND Manufacturing capability, and do not depend on any external designs | products as we have created our manufacturing facility to complement our Design strengths.

All our Designs have evolved as a standard offering from the products | solutions over a period of time and is compatible with our in-house manufacturing capability.

Being founder members of AFMI (Furniture Manufacturers Association of India), V3 strongly has advocated protection of Intellectual Property Rights at all forums.
