("Emson"), marketer and supplier of the BELL + HOWELL™ TACLIGHT™ flashlight, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Telebrands Corp. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  Emson asserts that Telebrands' ATOMIC BEAM flashlight infringes U.S. Patent No. 7,434,955 owned by Emson (the "Emson '955 Patent").
