Red light camera maker beats patent troll

In one of those cases where you don’t really know which side to back, a US federal judge has sided with the maker of red light speed camera against a notorious patent troll.

Joao Control and Monitoring Systems LLC, a firm with no customers or products, in 2013 filed a patent infringement suit against the photo enforcement system run by American Traffic Solutions (ATS). Joao claimed the patent it held for video security webcams required any company that monitored a video feed over the Internet to pay royalties.

Company spokesman Charles Territo said in a statement that his outfit refused to allow our company or our customer to be held hostage by a baseless lawsuit.
