Patent
BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 12 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
A German appellate court recently found WG-Sensorsense GmbH has infringed a patent on the
Sensormatic SuperTag(R) technology. The court's ruling prohibits WG-Sensorsense GmbH from selling its
infringing SuperSensor and one-time-use hard tags from its German distribution facilities. The court will
determine damages after WG-Sensorsense accounts for its sales of those products. The company is also
responsible for legal costs incurred to bring the court case against them.
