Brentwood, NY – November 18, 2019 – Satco Products, Inc. (“Satco”) announces that it has filed suit in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of New York (USDC-EDNY) against The Regents of the University of California at Santa Barbara (“UCSB”) as a result of claim letters issued to Satco’s customers by counsel to UCSB.
The action brought by Satco seeks a declaration that Satco products, identified in the UCSB claim letters, do not infringe any of the ten patents asserted by UCSB. A copy of the Satco complaint filed in the EDNY is annexed without exhibits.
Satco aggressively defends its products and seeks to protect its customers from unwarranted claims such as these.
