TORONTO, April 28 /CNW/ - As requested by Judge Maxine M. Chesney of the U.S. District Court in the Order issued April 8th, 2008, Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd ("Star") has amended the Complaint against Aeromechanical Services (TSX: AMA-V) for patent infringement by adding the patent holders Mr. Viraf Kapadia and Mr. Hilary Vieira as named plaintiffs, and received confirmation of the re-filing on April 25th, 2008.
While the Amended Complaint could have been made immediately, Star preferred to give a reasonable amount of time for the patent holders to respond to the request to add them as named parties. Mr. Vieira has been named as an involuntary plaintiff as provided for under U.S. law because of his stated disinterest in actively participating in the law suit.
With this filed amendment, Star has satisfied the conditions of the previous judgement and fully expects the patent infringement lawsuit against Aeromechanical Services to continue without further delay. Star looks forward to the patent infringement litigation proceeding as planned.
