KRENZER MARINE ANNOUNCES “THE COVE AT KRENZERS”
Krenzer Marine, one of Lake Ontario’s leading boat dealerships, today announced that they will be adding 20 additional slips to their marina. The slips are geared towards fishermen and will be located in a private area on the South side of their Sodus Point facility.
Commenting on the new slips, Tim Habecker of Krenzer Marine said “We recognize the need for fishing-specific dockage at our Sodus Point location. Fishermen are looking for an area where they can not only keep their boats, but also share in the fishing lifestyle with other fishermen. The Cove at Krenzers will offer access to our shower house, electricity in each of the 20 new slips, lots of free parking and is within easy walking distance of downtown Sodus Point. All of this will be available to boats up to 35’ in length. Because these docks will be in a park-like setting with all of the amenities that fishermen expect, we don’t anticipate these slips lasting long. We see The Cove at Krenzers as another step in our long-range plan to gain exposure in the Lake Ontario sportfishing market and we're excited to bring this new facility to the fishermen of Sodus Point! ”

Johnson Outdoors Files
Suit in Federal Court Against Maker of Lowrance
Navico ‘Willfully
Infringed’ On Side Imaging® Patent
RACINE, Wisconsin, January 27, 2010 -
Johnson Outdoors Inc. (JOUT: Nasdaq)
today announced it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against
Navico, Inc. for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,652,952 by Navico’s sale of
the Lowrance LSS-1 StructureScan Imaging System. Johnson Outdoors’ patent
protects the Humminbird® Side Imaging® sonar
technology. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court in
Johnson
Outdoors’ Side Imaging® sonar produces detailed and
recognizable images of underwater
objects and waterbeds enabling anglers to pinpoint habitat, structure and
drop-offs which are prime holding areas for fish. The patent application process began in 2004
prior to the Company’s introduction of Side Imaging® sonar in
Humminbird® 900 series fishfinder models the following year.
Consumer demand
prompted Johnson Outdoors to expand utilization of Side Imaging® sonar
technology across a broad range of its Humminbird® portfolio and was
a key driver behind the brand’s growth over the past four years. Following a comprehensive and methodical
review process, on January 26, 2010, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
granted the Company’s patent for “Side Imaging® sonar.”
“Our intellectual property policy is very simple: we will
respect the property of others and fiercely protect that of our own. We were diligent throughout the Side
Imaging® sonar technology patent
application process to ensure we achieved both because real innovation brings
real value which our customers and consumers expect and demand. By taking steps to protect our ideas and
inventions, we help ensure our ability to continue to bring forward meaningful
advances and innovative products that excite consumers and build our customers’
business,” said Kelly Grindle, Group Vice President Marine Electronics &
Watercraft.
The
Company’s complaint says Navico, Inc. expended substantial resources to inform
the trade and relevant purchasers of fish finding products, that it too would
use side scan technology to compete directly with Humminbird® Side Imaging® sonar products with knowledge that the U.S. Patent &
Trademark Office had approved the Company’s patent. The complaint further says Navico actively
induced infringement of the patent by resellers. .
The
Company is asking the Court to enjoin Navico from further infringement of the
patented Side Imaging®
sonar technology.

for the first time. So far he's my one and only follower, but I'm hoping that a few of you will find value in following me too. I plan to use Twitter to keep you up to date while we're out on the water fishing, plus I'll send out tweets whenever the mood strikes me. It might be fishing related, but it also might be something to do with family, friends, work, skiing, hunting...I'm not really sure what I'll tweet about. But the main purpose is for up-to-the-second fishing reports. I know a lot of you use the internet for daily fishing reports (I love Lake Ontario United and GLA for those reasons!), but just think about how cool it'll be to see how we're doing, while we're actually out fishing! Imagine sitting on the couch on a Saturday morning and your phone vibrates. You pick it up and see a tweet from me: "Fishing in Wilson today. 12 for 15, all Kings, Green/Green on the divers out 210' on a #2" Pretty cool if you ask me!
by clicking here: http://twitter.com/Billy_V_ Or you can just check out the Twitter widget on our homepage here: http://www.billyvsportfishing.com/. I'll start Twittering right away, so you'll be able to follow us on our last fishing trips of the year on Cayuga, while we put the boat away for the winter, during ski season, and you'll find out about our plans for next year as they happen. This should be an interesting experiment, I hope you check it out!
