Printer Maker Says Injunction Won’t Stop Sales
Thermal
printer manufacturer FutureLogic, Inc. will continue to sell and ship
one model of its printers in the face of a legal action by a
competitor, company executives said.TransAct Technologies filed for a
preliminary injunction against Glendale-based FutureLogic to keep it
from making, selling or importing dual port printers including the GEN2
Universal printer.
TransAct alleges in a federal court filing
that FutureLogic infringed on its patent for dual port technology.The
action is a continuation of the disputes that existed between the two
companies in federal court and will not interfere with the sale or
shipping of the GEN2 printer, said John Hilbert, vice president of
systems development and intellectual property for
FutureLogic.FutureLogic printers are used in the gaming, parking,
medical and agricultural industries.
