Hunter Group ASA - Patent Infringement Action Brought Against Dwellop AS

Oslo District Court that Wellpartner AS has initiated legal proceedings against
the company, alleging that Dwellop AS has infringed upon patent NO 336036,
belonging to Wellpartner AS. The patent relates to Heave Compensation Systems.
