In a precedent-setting 33-page opinion1, the US Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
fully upheld STAR's "nitrogen smoke" patent. STAR EnviroTech has also won every
previous US patent challenge by Redline Detection. More than twenty STAR patents
remain unchallenged.
STAR's technologies are available in 125 countries from world-leading tool
manufacturers and distributors and have sold more than all competitors' products
combined. STAR invented the standard-setting technologies for safer fuel
evaporative emissions (EVAP) leak testing.
"This latest victory and five prior patent challenge wins, reaffirms that
neither Redline Detection nor its customers can use our patented 'nitrogen
smoke', or 'smoke dye' technologies", said Jim Saffie, STAR EnviroTech CEO.
"We've worked hard to secure our U.S. and international patents. We invented
these technologies and we have an ethical obligation to our distribution
partners to guard those patents. They've made an investment in us and our
technologies. We will protect those investments."
