HODDESDON, UK, 17 March 2025 – Leading exterior lighting solutions provider DW Windsor has recently achieved a significant victory in its patent infringement claim against Urbis Schreder Ltd.
This recent judgment by the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court affirms the validity of the key claims of DW Windsor’s patents and that Urbis Schreder admitted, during the course of the action, that their Alinea Anti-Climb infringes both patents.
Commenting on the successful defence, DW Windsor’s Design & Development Director, Alan Grant, stated: “We’re delighted with the result of the judgment and the knowledge that our patents will continue to provide protection to the business.
Innovation has been at the heart of DW Windsor since the business was founded, and our Garda AntiClimb products exemplify our commitment to creating new lighting solutions that improve the status quo by leveraging our considerable experience, embracing technology and challenging convention through innovative design and engineering excellence. Successfully defending these patents demonstrates our determination to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights and sends a strong message to that effect.”
Garda AntiClimb is widely specified by engineering consultancies, rail operators, local authorities, architects, and urban planners. Valued for its ability to effectively illuminate open deck bridges and overpasses, its patented sloped roof and low-profile design simultaneously discourage climbing and unsafe behaviour, reducing risks and ensuring safe passage through a well-lit environment.
DW Windsor remains dedicated to continuous innovation, designing products that meet rigorous safety standards and align with the company’s sustainable ethos, prioritising durability, performance, and environmental responsibility.
