Well, I've found out quite a bit of info on this company. First, there was a Press Release a couple of days ago that never even got noticed here.
BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 1999--Sytron, Inc. and Dorado Systems Corporation announced today a first-round victory in HID Corporation's patent infringement suit against the two companies.
Dorado's newest access control product, the Universal Reader(TM), can read the proximity cards of other suppliers, as well as those of Dorado, and can also read magnetic stripe cards. This unique reader is the only product in the access control market with this multi-platform ability. The Universal Reader(TM) provides customers with more options for system upgrade, expansion and replacement, opening the market to greater competition.
HID had originally alleged that Dorado's reader infringed two of HID's patents. HID has now petitioned the court for permission to withdraw its allegations concerning one of the patents from the action
\223We are pleased to have at least some of the obstacles to open competition in the access control market removed,\224 said Sytron President, Rob Howard. \223We compete on the widely recognized strength of our technology and customer service. Dorado is proud of its unique technical achievement with the Universal Reader(TM),\224 said Howard. \223It's easy to accuse others of infringement. HID is finding that it's harder to prove these allegations in court.\224
\223We offer the best products and service,\224 claimed Brian FitzGerrell, Sytron's Vice President of Marketing, \223and we stand behind the Universal Reader(TM) with a lifetime warranty. The enthusiastic response, particularly from HID distributors, to the Universal Reader(TM) at recent trade shows supports our belief that HID's customers are looking for a higher quality alternative.\224
