Tomar Electronics Will Appeal Jury Verdict

Tomar Electronics, Inc. has announced that it will appeal a verdict from a federal jury in Minneapolis, Minn. that Global Traffic Technologies, LLC. is entitled to certain damages for infringement of a patent formerly owned by 3M and now owned by Global Traffic Technologies. The verdict is not yet final and subject to post trial motions. When and if the verdict is entered by the court, Tomar Electronics will file its appeal.

"We are disappointed in the jury's verdict," said Tracy Vander Kooi, Chief Financial Officer at Tomar Electronics. "We certainly appreciate the time that the jury put into this case, but we respectfully disagree and we will appeal both the jury's finding regarding the amount of damages and the Court's prior Order of infringement and validity."

Tomar Electronics designs, manufactures, markets, and sells the Strobecom II Preemption and Priority Control System. Deployed in hundreds of cities in the US and worldwide, Strobecom II reduces emergency vehicle response time to critical situations by up to 20% with fewer accidents. Tomar Electronics had previously discontinued the Strobecom II components involved in the lawsuit in January 2008, and introduced new products without the feature that was the subject of the lawsuit.
