Why is StrikeForce bringing this lawsuit?

StrikeForce has spent a substantial amount of time and money developing the StrikeForce ProtectID® Authentication Product and in getting the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to issue the '599 Patent. This product was invented by our CTO, who conceived of the only way to avert identity theft long before this problem became widely recognized. In light of the above, StrikeForce is determined to protect its intellectual property and seek all remedies available to it under the law.
