Ag Leader responds to patent infringement decision

AMES, IA – November 16, 2023. On October 30, 2023, a jury in the Southern District of Iowa issued a verdict finding that the True Speed® and SureSpeed® systems infringe certain Deere & Co. patents. Kinze Manufacturing and Ag Leader Technology strongly disagree with the verdict, and we intend to pursue our right to challenge the jury’s verdict. Because litigation is ongoing, we’re not able to comment further.

Ag Leader will take all necessary steps to ensure our customers remain satisfied, and we will continue to support existing SureSpeed customers in the field.
