GuideTech Sues Brilliant for
Patent Infringement
Mountain View, Calif. – December 21, 2009
– On December 14, 2009, GuideTech LLC filed claims for
patent infringement against Brilliant Instruments, Inc.
in the Federal District Court for the District of
Northern California. GuideTech asserts in the filing
that Brilliant's time interval analyzer products,
including Brilliant's BI200 product, infringes multiple
GuideTech patents.
GuideTech claims that Brilliant has had knowledge of
GuideTech's patents yet has willfully infringed, and
continues to willfully infringe, the patents by making,
using, selling and offering to sell the accused
products. GuideTech seeks a permanent injunction to halt
the further sale of infringing products, as well as
damages, attorneys' fees and costs of suit.
GuideTech's President, Oren Rajuan, said: "GuideTech
takes its technology and intellectual property very
seriously. We will take appropriate measures to make
sure our competitors do not interfere with our patent
rights."
The action was filed in response to Brilliant's
contention that it does not infringe GuideTech's
patents. Brilliant does not contend that the patents are
invalid or unenforceable. Brilliant has not asserted any
patent infringement claims against GuideTech.
