Hemisphere GPS has won a patent infringement lawsuit brought against the Company by Trimble Navigation. The United States District Court of Northern District of California has granted Hemisphere GPS' motion for summary judgment as to non-infringement of Trimble's patent, effectively negating the lawsuit against the Company.
Hemisphere GPS have previously stated publicly not to believe their products were infringing on any patents as alleged.
