Formlabs和3D Systems和解代价是支付销售额的8%作为专利费
本周，3D打印行业巨头3D Systems与新兴的桌面3D打印机制造商Formlabs之间长达两年的专利侵权诉讼宣告结束，双方选择庭外和解，同意撤销所有所有索赔。本站对此进行了报道。不过根据3D Systems后来向美国证券交易委员会提交的文件显示，Formlabs为达成此次庭外和解付出了巨大的代价：Formlabs将在专利有效期内向3D Systems支付其销售额的8%作为专利费。本站觉得，这一和解方式（指支付专利费）将对未来的3D打印技术专利纠纷产生深远的影响。
下面是3D Systems就此事向美国证券交易委员会提交的8-K表格文件内容
3D Systems公司8-K表格
2014年12月1日，3D Systems公司（“3D Systems”）和Formlabs公司（“Formlabs”）同意偏见（prejudice，法律术语，指不可再起诉）撤销关于3D Systems在美国纽约南区联邦地区法院起诉Formlabs侵犯其美国专利号5554336、5569431、5609812、5609813、5762856、5779967、5785918和5814265（统称“主题专利”），标题为《3D Systems, Inc. v. Formlabs, Inc., 1:13-cv-07973-RWS》的所有索赔和反诉要求。
该行动将依照2014年11月25日3D Systems与Formlabs达成的《和解与许可协议（Settlement and License Agreement）》，根据该协议，3D Systems将授予Formlabs全球性、非专有的、付费版权许可、而Formlabs无再许可的权利，以在3D Systems的专利下制造和销售Formlabs产品。而考虑到3D Systems所授予的许可，Formlabs同意在有效期内向3D Systems支付其Formlabs产品净销售额的8.0％，作为特许权使用费。
以下为英文原文：
