Laser Technology Awarded $1.2 M in Patent Suit

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., April 18 -- A jury has awarded Centennial-based Laser Technology Inc. (LTI) $1.2 million in a patent dispute over laser range finders with Nikon Inc., according to the Denver Post.

LTI filed a complaint against Nikon Inc. in US District Court for the District of Colorado on Feb. 8, 2000, alleging that Nikon's sale of the Nikon Laser 800 series of laser rangefinders infringed an LTI patent relating to low-cost, consumer laser rangefinders. The complaint was later amended to add manufacturer Asia Optical Co. Inc. as a defendant and to add two other patents obtained by LTI.
