Sandel Avionics had its third and final win in its appearance in Delaware Federal Court, responding to allegations of patent infringement by Honeywell International concerning aircraft terrain warning systems. The weeklong trial concluded December 5, 2008 when a jury ruled in favor of Sandel.
Gerry Block, President and CEO of Sandel Avionics, had the following statement: “Sandel has paid a great price with respect to these repeated, baseless lawsuits by Honeywell, who has been trying to preclude legitimate competition over aircraft terrain warning systems. It took a jury only 5 hours of deliberation to dispose of 6½ years of relentless litigation by Honeywell against Sandel. Sandel is now free to continue to manufacture, sell, license, and improve its superior TAWS technology without interference by Honeywell. My thanks go out to our customers, employees and ever-patient Board of Directors for their support through this ordeal, and to our great legal team at Fish and Richardson for their fine legal work on our behalf.”
