Business Wire
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) today acknowledged the filing
of a patent infringement lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the
District of Minnesota by Electronic Controlled Systems, Inc., d/b/a
King Controls. The suit is related litigation filed by the same
plaintiff against KVH in the same court in May 2005. The patent
asserted in this suit, which is also asserted in the prior suit,
relates generally to a satellite dish system controlled to acquire
a satellite signal. "We compete aggressively in the mobile
satellite TV market based on price, innovative technology, and
product quality," said Martin Kits van Heyningen, president and
chief executive officer of KVH Industries. "King Controls, on the
other hand, has resorted to harassment through litigation against
KVH, a pioneer in the mobile satellite marketplace. We will
continue to defend ourselves vigorously and fully expect to prevail
in this matter. Despite King Controls' attempts to avoid
competition and distract the marketplace, we will not waver in our
commitment to maintaining and strengthening our proven leadership
position by offering the superior product value, performance, and
support our customers have come to expect based on the more than
100,000 mobile satellite antennas produced and sold by KVH
Industries for more than a decade." About KVH Industries, Inc.
