Genetec Inc., a pioneering technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions, announced that the lawsuit filed by Sensormatic against Genetec had ended definitively in the company's favour with Genetec exonerated of any patent infringement and with the court awarding Genetec attorney fees.
Sensormatic Electronics, LLC, a subsidiary of Tyco International, which is now merged with Johnson Controls, filed suit against Genetec in Delaware in June 2020, alleging infringement of two patents, U.S. Patent No. 7,307,652 entitled “Method and Apparatus for Object Tracking and Detection" ("the '652 patent"), and U.S. Patent No. 9,463,954 entitled “Access Control System for Override Elevator Control, and Method Therefor" ("the '954 patent").
