Comarco Sues Best Buy

LAKE FOREST, Calif., Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Comarco, Inc. (OTC: CMRO.PK) (the "Company") today announced that on February 13, 2015, it filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Best Buy Co., Inc., in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.  The complaint alleges that certain Best Buy power charging products sold in the United States under the Rocketfish brand infringe the Company's patented intellectual property.  This lawsuit is part of the Company's ongoing and accelerated efforts to methodically pursue those companies that the Company believes have infringed on the intellectual property estate that the Company has developed over the last 20 years. 

Originally developed for its proprietary line of electronic device charging solutions, the Company's technology resulted from significant research and development investments to solve the unique challenges of enabling a single power adapter to charge multiple devices using a variety of power sources (AC wall outlets, DC sources in cars and airplanes, and computer USB ports).   Until recently, Comarco sold its proprietary ChargeSource^® line of multi-function universal mobile power adapters, which could simultaneously power and charge multiple rechargeable mobile devices.  However, the Company was forced to abandon ongoing product sales due to the proliferation of unlicensed products that it believes utilize and infringe on the Company's proprietary intellectual property.

Over the prior twelve months, and as previously announced, the Company's enhanced litigation efforts have resulted in settlements with ACCO Brands USA LLC and its Kensington Computer Products Group division and Chicony Power Technology Co., LTD. On February 3, 2015 the Company announced that it had filed an infringement complaint against Apple Inc.
