Winchester, VA (May 1, 2007) – Rubbermaid Commercial Products, an international leader in design and innovation for commercial facilities maintenance and foodservice products, today announced it has reached a settlement of its patent infringement lawsuit brought against Jansco Corp. located in Brooklyn New York.
