Handal & Associates Slaps Nebraska Motorcycle Brake Company, GMA Engineering Inc., With Patent Infringement Suit

SAN DIEGO, CA, Nov 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
Michael Maldonado, inventor and owner of Heavy Cycle Customs, has sued
Nebraska motorcycle custom brake company GMA Engineering Inc. for
infringing his patent. The suit, filed in the Southern District Federal
Court in San Diego, California, seeks what is estimated by Maldonado's
attorneys to be millions of dollars in damages.

In the lawsuit, Maldonado claims that GMA Engineering, its founder William
Gardner, and other sued defendants wrongfully infringed upon Maldonado's
U.S. Patent No. 5,992,587. According to the suit, Maldonado's patent
concerns a special belt/chain drive system that incorporates a braking
system within the drive assembly. This unique system, the suit alleges,
reduces weight, improves performance, and improves the aesthetics of the
rear wheel of a motorcycle.

The suit charges that GMA Engineering and Gardner wrongfully infringed
Maldonado's patent by manufacturing and selling infringing products based
on his patent in GMA Engineering's catalogs and its online store.
Maldonado seeks to recoup the profits GMA Engineering and Gardner are
alleged to have earned by allegedly selling parts based on Maldonado's
invention.
