Garmin Prevails in UK Intellectual Property Dispute

Garmin (Europe) Ltd. said it prevailed in an intellectual property dispute over its Elevate wrist-based heart-rate monitoring technology. The High Court of Justice ruled Garmin’s technology didn't infringe two designs owned by PulseOn anywhere in the EU, it said. “We’re pleased that the Court rejected PulseOn’s allegations,” said Andrew Etkind, Garmin general counsel, saying the company is “proud and resolute to fight those who abuse the legal system falsely to take credit for Garmin’s own technology or to make unfounded claims of infringement of IP rights.”
