King Controls Sues KVH For Patent Infringement

KVH's TracVision products (pictured) utilize the inventions of the patents named in the suit to allow users to switch from one satellite to another when using expanded broadcast satellite services such as DISH 500 and DirecTV multi- satellite services.

Minneapolis MN (SPX) Jun 01, 2005
King Controls, a manufacturer of mobile satellite antennae systems for land and marine markets, filed a patent suit, Monday, against KVH Industries in Minnesota Federal District Court for infringing on three patents covering satellite locator systems for vehicles.

U. S. Patent Nos. 6,538,612; 6,710,749; and 6,864,846 are owned by King Controls and are directed to methods and devices for automatically locating and tracking satellites for receiving direct broadcast satellite transmissions.

In the lawsuit, King Controls seeks to stop KVH from infringing on its patents through the sale of its TracVision products. King Controls is seeking injunctive relief in addition to monetary damages, costs, and attorneys' fees.

KVH's TracVision products utilize the inventions of the patents named in the suit to allow users to switch from one satellite to another when using expanded broadcast satellite services such as DISH 500 and DirecTV multi- satellite services.

Given the presently known facts, King Controls is confident that it will prevail in demonstrating infringement by KVH and expects to receive a sizable damage award from KVH for its past infringing activities.
