LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif., April 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Comarco, Inc. (OTC: CMRO) today announced that it has reached an agreement with Targus International LLC ("Targus") and FT 1, Inc. (formally Targus Group International, Inc.), settling a dispute that was scheduled for arbitration next month. Under the terms of the agreement, Comarco has granted Targus a license to use the company's patented technology relating to power adapters for charging and powering portable electronic devices in exchange for a cash payment and future royalties in certain circumstances.

In the meantime, we continue to invest in building our intellectual property and expanding our patent portfolio."
