New Frontier Electronics, Inc. d/b/a SurgeX of Pipersville, PA is suing Furman Sound of Petaluma, CA. The complaint, filed in U.S. Federal Court, is in part for promoting MOV-based power conditioning products as Series Mode products.
SurgeX, citing the false advertising and promotion prong of Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, is claiming that the Furman Series II line of products use MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) as the main surge suppression technology and that the promotion and marketing of these products as Series Mode is false, deceptive and/or misleading.
SurgeX is a leading manufacturer and marketer of high-quality professional power conditioning products for the professional and commercial audio/video marketplace
. SurgeX products can be found in professional recording studios, video and broadcast suites, boardrooms, trading centers, sound reinforcement applications including churches, stadiums, and major musical tours. All SurgeX power conditioning products incorporate advanced technology, referred to as Series Mode, to mitigate surge and transient energy without the use of any diversionary or sacrificial components such as MOVs.
