This year GALBAHE 2018 AWARD for the inventor of the year went to Tomás Morlanes, Technological Manager of Fagor Automation‘s Optical Area, due to the quantity and quality of the patents in which he is recognized as inventor.
As proof that they are value-adding patents, the fact that Fagor Automation’s main competitor is trying, without success, to revoke its European patents by opposing their grant was highlighted.
