HOUSTON, March 25, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Satellite Tracking of People LLC ("STOP"), the owner of BluTag(r), a GPS-based "one-piece" offender tracking and reporting system, announced today that it filed a patent infringement action against Omnilink Systems, Inc. (Alpharetta, GA), ProTech Monitoring, Inc. (Odessa, FL), a subsidiary of Israeli-based DMATEK (LSE:DTK), and SecureAlert, Inc. (Salt Lake City, UT), a subsidiary of RemoteMDx (OTCBB:RMDX), in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
STOP's federal complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent No. Re 39,909, entitled "Tracking System for Locational Tracking of Monitored Persons," by Omnilink with its one-piece OM 200 device and system, by ProTech with its one-piece MTD3000 SMART(r) One Wearable Miniature Tracking Device and system, and by SecureAlert with its one-piece TrackerPAL device and system.
