“We are very pleased with both the financial and non-financial aspects of this settlement and regard it as a positive conclusion to the action undertaken just over a year ago,” says SmarTire president Dave Warkentin. “This should positively impact our business as we continue to vigorously defend our intellectual property rights.”
