Office product giants 3M and Avery Dennison announced Friday that the companies had reached an agreement to settle a series of lawsuits that had been ongoing since 2010.
According to separate releases from each company, a series of lawsuits began when 3M alleged that some of Avery Dennison's products, including the company's OmniCube, infringed on 3M's patents and asked for an injunction to prevent those products from being sold. Avery Dennison responded with two separate lawsuits, one accusing 3M of patent infringement and another alleging antitrust violations.
