LTRX, a global provider of secure data access and management solutions for the industrial Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that it has settled the patent infringement lawsuit filed against Jinan USR IOT Technology, Limited. Lantronix filed the lawsuit in July 2017, in the Southern Division of the Central District of California in U.S. District Court to enforce certain United States patents covering Lantronix's XPort^® family of Serial-to-Ethernet conversion products.

Under the terms of the settlement, Lantronix reserved the right to enforce its foreign patents in other countries around the world. Lantronix's XPort family of products is also protected by patents in several international jurisdictions, including Europe, China, Japan, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
