In response to Evertz's recent press release about its patent infringement suit against Lawo, Lawo strongly denies any infringement of patents as alleged by Evertz and believes that the allegedly infringed patents are invalid. Lawo will vigorously defend itself against the unfounded claims that Evertz alleges and it strongly asserts that it has committed no wrongdoing.

Lawo, Inc., Lawo Corp. and their affiliate Lawo AG are internationally leading providers of digital mixing consoles, routing systems, video solutions and turnkey systems for the professional broadcast industry. Lawo is a longtime innovator and reliable partner whose strategy is characterized by close customer orientation and highly advanced technology. Evertz has filed suit for patent infringement in the United States District Court in Delaware, a separate lawsuit in Canada, and recently issued a press release.

Their press release is part of a global public relations campaign which obviously goes beyond the mere protection of Evertz's alleged rights in court. The press release fails to state that the Canadian action was struck by the court on February 28, 2019 because Evertz failed to articulate a material basis for its claim. In addition, Evertz failed to state in the amended complaint it filed in the United States that its Canadian action was stricken.

As we approach our 50th year of business, our customers understand that honesty and integrity have formed the pillar of our success over these years. We believe our success has made us the target of Evertz. We will vigorously defend the lawsuits and will pursue all appropriate legal actions against Evertz. Business will continue as usual and there should not be any impact on our customers while these matters are pending, said Claudia Nowak, CFO of Lawo.
