e-Smart Technologies learned from court filings that IDsmart LLC directed its engineers to use e-Smart’s technology in developing IDsmart’s biometric smart card product.

The original complaint filed by e-Smart Technologies against IDsmart alleged theft and misappropriation of biometric smart card technology. IDsmart also confirmed that, because its engineers had been instructed to use e-Smart’s technology, IDsmart did not actually have a product design and was unable to “release” any product until approximately four months ago.

Mary Grace, President and CEO of e-Smart said, “IDsmart now admits not only that their engineers used e-Smart’s technology but also that they have known for more than a year that e-Smart’s technology was used in developing IDsmart’s claimed biometric smart card product.”
