SAFTI FIRST® Wins Patent Infringement Lawsuit
SAFTI FIRST, a leading manufacturer of fire-rated glazing and framing products, prevailed in a patent infringement lawsuit against Jerry’s Glass of Beverly Hills, CA and his various companies.  The litigation began in July 2005 when SAFTI FIRST filed legal action before the US District Court for the Northern District of California, asserting violation of U.S. Patent No. 5,910,620 assigned to SAFTI FIRST’s SuperLite I-XL product.  As alleged in the lawsuit, after SAFTI FIRST gave Mr. Glass a bid to install SuperLite I-XL  in fire and safety rated locations at a Beverly Hills senior assisted living center, and met with the Beverly Hills building department to get it approved, Glass (through a new company called FRG2000) substituted his own imitation product for SuperLite I-XL.
