James R Van Horn, Presstek's general counsel and secretary said,:"Our intellectual property is a valuable asset and we will protect it.
When we filed our ITC action against VIM earlier this year, we said that our intention was to protect against the infringement of our patent rights, wherever they were being violated.
The action in Germany is focused on protecting our rights in Europe and seeking damages for VIM's improper conduct.
This is simply our next step in the process of protecting our rights from VIM's infringement.".
