Global Traffic Technologies Wins $6.75 Million Jury Verdict in Patent Infringement Suit against Competitor

ST. PAUL, Minn. --(Business Wire)-- A jury in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis returned a damages verdict on Oct. 22 in favor of Global Traffic Technologies, LLC, headquartered in St. Paul, Minn.

Global Traffic Technologies was awarded $6.75 million in damages for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,172,113 by defendant Tomar Electronics, Inc. The jury trial for damages began on October 2, before Chief Judge Michael J. Davis.

Global Traffic Technologies markets and sells the patented Opticom(TM) Infrared System for emergency vehicle preemption and transit signal priority. Tomar Electronics, based in Gilbert, Ariz., marketed and sold the Strobecom(TM) II traffic preemption system.



The original claim against Tomar Electronics, Inc. was filed on April 13, 2005, for infringement of U.S. Patent 5,172,113. On December 27, 2007, Global Traffic Technologies won an order of infringement against Tomar Electronics, when the court found Tomar had infringed multiple claims of this patent.
