"But nothing here is biologically resolved," he said decidedly. For now occurs Süllhöfer son Dirk, the legal successor to his ailing father. The notary was set. "I just let little loose, like my father." Just recently, the OLG Düsseldorf explained that the procedure is not time-barred.

Bayer is still assured that you have known the procedure invented by Süllhöfer before. The company had, despite Süllhöfer patent therefore a so-called right of prior use.
The process: A special machine for mass production of certain plastic sheets. That gave it up to date, no. Says Süllhöfer. The apparatus brought the company billions of profits.
And still sees a possibility Süllhöfer junior: "I am also prepared, where appropriate, to a court settlement with Bayer. The group would then pay an amount which is well below the 500 million euros. But with a tip we will not be fobbed us. "
