Rosco’s patents involved in the case were U.S. Patent No. 9,215,429 and U.S. Patent No. 9,319,639.

The two companies said that they have now settled the matter “amicably.” Rostra will discontinue offering or selling this mirror system for the school bus industry. In turn, Rosco has dismissed the case against Rostra.
