Standard Textile said it has filed a lawsuit claiming a competitor, Sobel Westex, infringed on one of its patents.

The suit, filed in a New Jersey federal court, accuses Las Vegas-based Sobel Westex of using patented Standard Textile technology in its Dolce Notte brand of sheets. The technology relates to woven sheeting fabrics, which Standard Textile said it employs in several of the brands it manufactures for the hospitality industry, including ComforTwill, Centium Satin and Centima.

“The patent laws are intended to encourage and reward creativity and technological innovation, and we will not allow others to profit unlawfully by selling products that infringe on our patents,” said Gary Heiman, president and CEO of Standard Textile, in a news release.

Standard Textile, headquartered in Reading, manufactures and markets, bedding, curtains and other textiles for the hospital and hotel industries.
