Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

(a) On June 13, 2014, Utility Associates, Inc. filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Digital Ally, Inc. (the “Company”) alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,831,556 (“the ‘556 patent”). The suit was served on the Company on June 20, 2014. The Company already had filed a lawsuit against Utility in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement on this same patent. Because the Company was the first to file a lawsuit involving the ‘556 patent, it believes this suit should be dismissed and transferred to Kansas. As alleged in its first filed lawsuit, the Company believes the ‘556 patent is both invalid and not infringed. Further, proceedings seeking to invalidate the ‘556 patent already have begun at the United State Patent and Trademark Office where the Company filed a request for inter partes review of the ‘556 patent. The Company believes that this suit is without merit and will vigorously defend the claims asserted against it.

 

The information contained in this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
