Garmin Disagrees With Determination At ITC, Plans To Seek Review

(RTTNews) - Garmin International, Inc., a subsidiary of Garmin Ltd. (GRMN) Tuesday said it disagrees with the Administrative Law Judge or ALJ's initial determination that first generation SideVü sonar products were too similar to the patented products of Johnson Outdoors. However, ALJ at the International Trade Commission found no violation with respect to the two other patents.

Garmin said it is developing improvements to its current SideVü sonar products and decided to seek review by the ITC. The Switzerland based company said its current SideVü products are not covered by any valid Johnson Outdoors patent and would have any impact on Garmin customers or products.
