Digital Ally To Continue Legal Proceedings Against Utility - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Digital Ally Inc. (DGLY) announced the District Court has dismissed the company's patent lawsuit against Utility Associates, Inc. because Kansas was not the proper jurisdictional forum for the dispute. The company said the Court's decision was not a ruling on the merits of the threats made by Utility regarding its patent. In the course of the proceedings Utility made a key admission to the District Court: that it has not accused Digital Ally of any patent infringement, Digital Ally noted.

Digital Ally initiated litigation against Utility in the District Court of Kansas in October 2013. The lawsuit sought a declaration that the company's mobile video surveillance system did not infringe any claim of Utility's '556 Patent.

Digital Ally said it has filed a notice of appeal, whether the dispute can be heard in Kansas, and plans to continue its legal proceedings against Utility. The company said, such proceedings will include filing an appropriate action with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to invalidate the '556 Patent in the near future.
