BriarTek Files Section 337 Enforcement Complaint on Two-Way Satellite Comm Devices

BriarTek filed a section 337 enforcement complaint April 10, alleging Delorme is continuing to offer for sale imported two-way global satellite communication devices that infringe BriarTek’s patents despite an agreement not to.
