Michelin North America has filed a lawsuit against Tire Recappers of Nashville, alleging the company infringed design patents for the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 and Michelin LTX M/S2 tires.
The lawsuit alleges that two Tire Recappers tire models — the Cross Grip M/T and the All Position Highway 2 — infringe Michelin’s U.S. Patent Nos. D530,266 and D639,235. Michelin filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville.
Tire Recappers of Nashville manufactures and sells retread tires for the light-truck segment.
