DABOSS, here’s some info on a past Vivitar case I researched. -----
Case # 1:2002cv00553 filed in Delaware District Court has Flashpoint filing a complaint against Vivitar in June 2002. Interestingly, they also filed a Patent/Trademark Report with the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks. Flashpoint demanded a jury trial but the case was settled in May 2003 (11 months from initial filing). Docket highlights pasted below.

Now we know Vivitar has settled at least once in a patent infringement case...will research more as time permits.
