Now that it is in the public domain, I can share with you the first of a series of actions by CANVS against the commercial infringers of CANVS' US Patent 6,911,652 filed in the Middle District of Florida:
A web page with the URL http://www.law360.com ran a story reference CANVS V USA:
www.law360.com/articles/496259/claims-pared-in-contractor-s-night-vision-ip-row
Earlier today I sent their editor the following correction along with commentary from our Attorney:
Jonathan A. Walkenstein, President and CEO of CANVS Corporation:
"I would like to clarify one point brought up in the law360.com posting related to CANVS V USA: CANVS has never inspected, or claimed to have inspected an Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) manufactured by Insight Technology. CANVS did however inspect an ENVG manufactured by IT&T's Night Vision Division on two different occasions. It should be noted that it is CANVS' position that any ENVG that met the US Governments requirements as stipulated in the associated ENVG calls for proposals and subsequent contracts are infringing on the CANVS patent (US Patent Number 6,911,652)."
Joseph J. Zito (Attorney for CANVS):
"Far from "paired down" CANVS' case significantly advanced forward. The Government's only defense to its direct theft was invalidity and the Government lost that issue. The case is almost over for the government, which is now left without viable defenses or excuses. The government's incredulous claim, that some government employee named Hansen invented a fused goggle ten years before Mr. Walkenstein, was summarily rejected by the United States Court of Claims."
We shall see if they run my corrections and comments...
