On August 1, 2008, ICOP Digital, Inc. (the “Registrant”) was served with a summons and a complaint in which TriSquare Communications, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“TriSquare”), and the Registrant were named as defendants in a patent infringement action commenced by L-3 Communications Mobile-Vision, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Mobile-Vision”). According to the complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, the wireless microphone and related base station that TriSquare and its affiliates manufacture and import, and Registrant incorporates into and sells as components of its ICOP 20/20-W product, infringe upon a patent held by Mobile-Vision covering a wireless microphone for use with an in-car video system (the “Mobile-Vision Patent”). Mobile-Vision’s complaint requests various forms of relief, including a permanent injunction, treble damages, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Mobile-Vision has also brought similar actions against competitors of the Registrant. The Registrant believes that Mobile-Vision’s claim is entirely without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.
In a related development, Mobile-Vision also filed a complaint (the “ITC Complaint”), which has not yet been served on the Registrant, against the Registrant, TriSquare, and several other parties requesting that the United States International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) commence an investigation pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. The ITC Complaint further requests that the ITC issue a permanent exclusion order barring the importation into the United States of all articles that infringe the Mobile-Vision Patent. Mobile-Vision has filed similar complaints against those competitors whom they sued in the above-mentioned lawsuit. The Registrant believes that the ITC Claim is entirely without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.
