GILLETTE AND SCRIPTO SUE OVER ERASABLE INKS Scripto Tokai Corporation said a federal jury in Los Angeles ruled in its favor in a patent lawsuit with Gillette Company over erasable inks used in ball point pens. In a press release, the company said Gillette had sued for "several million dollars" in damages, claiming that Scripto had infringed two patents owned by Gillette. Scripto Tokai said the verdict resolves all of Gillette's claims against Scripto. However, Scripto said it claims against Gillette have yet to be determined. Scripto said its antitrust and unfair competition claims against Gillette are set to be tried before a second jury in June 1994. A Gillette spokesman said the company will ask the court to set the verdict aside. If unsuccessful, Gillette plans to appeal. [Boston Globe 8/28/93, 40]
