SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCBB: SMME) announced today that on June 2,
2010 the United States District Court for the Central District of
California entered an Order Denying the Motion to Dismiss filed by
defendants VISA, Inc. ("VISA") and MasterCard Incorporated
("MasterCard").
The case is captioned as Smart Metric v. MasterCard et. Al, case
no. 2:10-cv-01864-JHN
As previously disclosed, on March 15, 2010 SMME filed a
complaint for patent infringement against VISA and MasterCard. In
response, on May 6, 2010 VISA and on May 14, 2010 MasterCard filed
motions to dismiss. On May 28, 2010 plaintiff SMME filed a first
amended complaint.
SmartMetric CEO Colin Hendrick stated, "We are extremely pleased
by the district court's prompt entry of an Order denying the
defendants' motion to dismiss. As alleged in the Company's amended
complaint, the Company believes and therefore has alleged that
defendant VISA's PAYWAVE card and defendant MasterCard's PAYPASS
card infringe on the Company's various patents. In particular, the
Company is the owner of United States Patent No. 6,792,464 (the
'464 patent'). The 464 patent provides the Company with
intellectual property rights for 'a system for automatic connection
to a network.'"
