Travel Sentry Sued for Patent Infringement by Patent Holder
New York, NY (PRWeb) -- February 27 2007 -- Travel Sentry, Inc. ( travelsentry.org ), a company in the luggage lock business, has been sued for patent infringement by the inventor of US Patents 7,021,537 and 7,036,728.
This patent infringement claim comes after Travel Sentry filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in New Hampshire seeking to squash inventor's rights. Travel Sentry's claim was thrown out of Federal Court in New Hampshire. They have since re-filed in New York.
TSA luggage locks allow air travelers to lock their checked bags while enabling Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Officers to unlock and inspect them, rather than clip travelers' luggage locks during a mandatory security inspection.
"I filed this patent infringement case for a very simple reason. The TSA Lock technology covered by US Patents 7,021,537 and 7,036,728 is being knowingly and unfairly exploited," said David Tropp, the inventor of these patents.
Through his company, Safe Skies LLC, Mr. Tropp practices his innovation by making his patented TSA Lock system available to the traveling public.
Mr. Tropp, an entrepreneur in his mid-twenties, developed an innovative system for making airline luggage inspection secure while accommodating the needs of the traveler. The United States Patent and Trademark Office recognized Mr. Tropp's innovation and issued two patents; one patent on April 4, 2006, and the other patent on May 2, 2006.
Tropp is seeking injunctive relief enjoining Travel Sentry and those working with them from infringing US Patents 7,021,537 and 7,036,728.
This patent infringement lawsuit will be decided by jury trial in The United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn, NY (Case # 1:06-CV-06415).

Keep An Eye On The Currency Exchange Market And Save Money When You Travel
Monitoring the currency exchange rate is very important if you?re planning to go on a vacation and would like to stay within your set budget and save money. Let us understand what exactly currency exchange rate means. In general, depending on the US dollar, most of the other currencies are calculated in value and are either more or less than the value of the US dollar. For example, a Canadian dollar would be worth around 85 percent of the US dollar. Similarly, the British Pound is worth two US dollars. However, owing to the fluctuating market conditions, one day the British Pound could be worth two dollars while on the next, it could be worth more than two dollars.
Comparing Online Travel Services To Your Local Travel Agent
Sites such as Expedia, Orbitz, and Travelocity claim to offer the best price - sometimes even guaranteed. They may even claim to offer the best rates on a luxury world cruise, a trip that travel wholesalers publicly prefer to be sold by agents. Others offer to beat any price or to match it. The emergence of online travel sites have put many agencies out of business, and claim to have conquered the consumer base by offering quality product at a lower cost. The volume done by these sites is said to make up for their marginal profit. But these are no more than half-truth cover stories. Let us debunk these myths one at a time.
