Global Locate Seeks to Halt GPS Sales
Global Locate is upping the ante on the battle with SiRF, bringing the battle to SiRF customers. In a complaint filed on April 2 with the US International Trade Commission spreads to involve Mitac/Mio, E-Ten and Pharos in the big GPS chip dispute. The complaint requests that the ITC starts an immediate investigation and then as a result halts the importation of these devices into the US as a result of alleged patent infringements.
This is not unlike the recent SiRF filing.
This is the latest salvo in the patent infringement battle between the two GPS chip companies. Nothing like halting shipments to get people's attention. Stay tuned.

Yeah, way to go Global Locate, let's just halt shipments because things aren't working out for ya'. That's a sure way to get (future) customers, just halt shipments on everything else and force us to use your chips because sometimes a company can do better, like SiRF.
