Smartmatic Corp. v. SVS Holdings, Inc., et al.

Sequoia was using Smartmatic IP when Hart tried to buy Sequoia in 2008. Hart wanted to use Smartmatic IP in their machines as well. Did Sequoia ever stop using their IP?

"The second term for which Sequoia Voting Systems (SVS) seeks guidance is one under which Hart InterCivic (Hart) promises not to compete with Smartmatic in Latin America, the Philippines, and Belgium. In return,Smartmatic promises to grant to Hart a license to use its intellectual property currently found in Sequoia’s machines."

Sequoia Licensed Smartmatic's Edge2Plus and HAAT Software

In April 2006, the City Council of Chicago held hearings after election results

were delayed a week due to problems using Smartmatic’s Hybrid Activator

Accumulator Transmitter (“HAAT”) software to count the March 21, 2006 primary vote.

Jack Blaine, Sequoia President and

CEO, confirmed in writing that Sequoia continues to use the Venezuelan developed “Edge2Plus and HAAT” in the City of Chicago and Cook County, Illinois. 21 Blaine added that “Sequoia will continue to provide products, upgrades and accessories to the U.S. market based on products the company developed in cooperation with Smartmatic during the time the company owned Sequoia.” What Blaine did not say is that the Edge2Plus and HAAT are owned by Smartmatic and licensed by Smartmatic to Sequoia.
