Swedish companies in collusion course with the Norwegian ski team

Thursday, 21 June 2012
The small Swedish company, Vendolocus Development based in Bromma has gone to war against the Norwegian Ski Federation and the Norwegian Olympic Committee. This seems to have been driven by rights law vaiolation.

Swedish business daily, Dagens Industry, reports on Thursday that the inventor Peter Stenlund has developed a measuring machine that helps the skier to choose the right skis. The company has cooperated with the Norwegian ski team since 2009 but in March this year the Norwegians have decided not to continue with the contract.

According to Peter Stenlund, the Norwegian national team leadership has helped a Norwegian company, IDT, to steal its technology. He also claims that IDT copied two other Swedish products using the Norwegian Olympic Committee, reports the paper.

The inventor is reported to be suing the Norwegians – both the sport committees and the company IDT.

The Norwegians would not want to respond to the allegations but said that the Skii and the Olympic teams have no commercial interest in the technique.
