On
June
19, 2006, Competitive Technologies, Inc. (“CTT”) announced that that
the
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled in favor of Fujitsu
and against Competitive Technologies, Inc. and the Board of Trustees of the
University of Illinois in a patent infringement case involving plasma display
technology. The
matter originated in 2000 when CTT and the University of Illinois filed a case
against Fujitsu in the US International Trade Commission and the Central
District Court of Illinois alleging patent infringement and unpaid royalties,
with respect to patents owned by the University. CTT is currently evaluating
the
decision and its possible ramifications.
