OVERLAND PARK, Kan., September 20, 2017 — Farmobile, the farm data company, today announced the Federal Court of Canada (Court File No. T-449–17) ordered Farmers Edge Inc., a Winnipeg, Manitoba-based company to provide the particulars of Farmers Edge’s defenses and pay a portion of related legal fees to Farmobile.

This is the most recent step in legal action filed by Farmobile in March 2017 to enforce its Canadian patent against Farmers Edge. According to the Statement of Claim filed in Court, Farmobile alleges that the “CanPlug” device and FarmCommand system used, operated and sold by Farmers Edge infringe Farmobile’s Canadian patent.

Following an August 22 hearing, Federal Court Judge Justice Manson ordered Farmers Edge to provide defense particulars and immediately pay the company $5,000 towards its legal fees.

“This is a positive sign,” said Jason Tatge, CEO of Farmobile. “We are proud that our innovative technology can benefit farmers in Canada and intend to enforce our patent rights. The best path forward has always been for the parties to resolve this matter and put it all behind us.”
