Twenty First Century Communications has responded to an impending patent infringement lawsuit by Sugar Land, TX-based Techradium. Last week, Techradium said it filed patent suits against eleven mass notification companies, including Twenty First Century Communications.
In a press release on Friday, Jim Kennedy, CEO of TFCC stated, ""It appears that Techradium, a small participant in the crowded field of mass notifications, is trying to use litigation to leverage its competitors into licensing its narrow and limited patents...TFCC has serviced clients for more than a decade before that company existed."
Kennedy continued, "For some time, TechRadium has attempted to scare customers away from using the services of its competitors by claiming that their patents cover various mass notification systems...We are confident that TFCC does not infringe any of their patents..."
The press release states TFCC had not yet been served with the lawsuit, though Techradium had issued a press release announcing its intentions.
