Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA, November 2003 - ROMER has filed suit against FARO Technologies Inc. for patent
infringement in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of
California. ROMER asserts that U.S. Patent No. 5,829,148 "Spatial
Measuring Device" issued on Nov. 3, 1998 to Homer Eaton, chairman of
ROMER .
"The ability for a measuring arm to have unlimited rotation seems to be
clearly protected by our patent and we are prepared to defend our
intellectual property to the fullest extend," stated Eaton, inventor of
the first articulated CMM arm. While the lawsuit does not specifically
identify the accused FARO products, earlier this year, FARO announced
that its new Platinum FaroArm CMM has "infinite rotatability at each
joint." A trial date in the lawsuit has not yet been set.
