WESTFIELD, N.J. — Standard Textile has filed suit against Sobel Westex in a New Jersey federal court in a dispute over a patent on woven sheeting.
Standard Textile alleges that Sobel Westex’s “Dolce Notte” sheets infringe on a Standard Textile patent issued in 1996 that covers woven sheeting fabrics made with spun-cotton warp yarns and texturized multifilament filling yarns. Standard Textile says it uses this technology in the manufacturing of several hospitality sheets and pillowcases.
