PRRS Responds to MPS Litigation Allegations with Confidence and Clarity

PRRS Responds to MPS Litigation Allegations

In a bold move to defend its integrity, Parking Revenue Recovery Services, Inc. (PRRS) has publicly addressed the allegations made by Municipal Parking Services, Inc. (MPS) in a recent lawsuit that they claim infringe upon their patents. The company, a leader in parking compliance management, recognizes the gravity of these accusations and has chosen to counter them significantly, focusing on factual clarifications rather than engaging in a back-and-forth of allegations.

PRRS emphasizes that they have been pioneers in the parking compliance industry long before MPS entered the scene. The company's extensive experience encompasses monitoring and enforcing facility use regulations, a practice that has been ongoing for decades. In light of MPS's claims, PRRS filed motions in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas aiming to dismiss MPS's complaint. In their motion, PRRS pointed out the lack of substantive support for MPS’s patent claims, arguing that the patents in question are merely abstract ideas and therefore ineligible for patent protection. Furthermore, PRRS highlights that significant prior art in parking lot monitoring systems exists and was neglected during the original patent examination process by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, casting further doubt on the validity of MPS's claims.

Despite MPS's assertions that PRRS and its clientele can no longer provide video monitoring services, PRRS stands firm in declaring this information as inaccurate. John D. Conway, Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of PRRS, states, "For more than two decades, PRRS has built its reputation on integrity, innovation, and delivering real results for our clients and partners across North America. These misleading claims from MPS do not reflect the facts, nor do they diminish our commitment to advancing the parking industry with proven, compliant, and data-driven solutions."

PRRS categorically denies any infringement of MPS's patents, reminding stakeholders that the court has not validated any of MPS's claims as legitimate. Moreover, MPS has withdrawn specific claims regarding indirect and willful infringement after just four months into the litigation. This trend of companies making competitive claims about potential intellectual property violations is unfortunately common, especially when they know their patents are questionable or invalid in nature.

As a result, PRRS reassures its clients that their comprehensive suite of parking lot services remains unaffected by MPS's claims. The company's focus continues to be on delivering exceptional value and innovative solutions to property owners, municipalities, universities, and other entities, aiming to enhance compliance and optimize revenue collection.

In conclusion, PRRS aims to maintain transparency with its clients and partners, reiterating its commitment to confronting this legal challenge head-on while remaining focused on delivering quality services. The parking compliance landscape is evolving, and PRRS is prepared to adapt and lead through legal adversities, ensuring the needs of their clients are met consistently.
