Successful legal settlement of patent dispute

Eckoh plc (AIM: ECK), the global provider of Customer Engagement Data Security Solutions, today confirms that after a protracted legal and subsequent arbitration process relating to a historic patent dispute brought by a competitor, it is pleased to confirm that the process has been successfully concluded to Eckoh's benefit and under a Settlement Agreement Eckoh is being paid a sum of £2.25m, which represents the substantial majority of costs (accounted for as exceptional items) it has incurred over the past two and half years.

The Agreement also provides legal certainty that there can be no future litigation brought by the competitor against Eckoh relating to the patent family in question.
