ProStar, the World Leader in Developing Precision Mapping Solutions, Has Been Granted Another Major U.S. Patent

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.- United States Patent No. 9,619,573, prepared and prosecuted by Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie LLP, one of nation’s leading intellectual property law firms, has been granted to ProStar™. The issued patent covers a computer implemented method for avoiding damage within an excavation area. The patented method helps to prevent damages to utilities and the environment during construction, maintenance and groundbreaking activities as well as damages caused by severe conditions including weather, fires, and earthquakes.

“It’s always gratifying to play a significant role in the issuance of a patent for a client,” said Raymond R. Tabandeh, the LRRC partner who prosecuted the patent. “Damages to buried utilities during excavation is a major problem in the U.S. and Canada, and in almost every case when excavation is involved, damage is caused by lack of qualified data being available. This patent addresses these concerns,” added Tabandeh.

ProStar‘s Chief Executive Officer and a coinventor of the issued patent, Page Tucker, stated, “We are delighted to have another key patent added to our extensive and growing IP portfolio. Our cloud and mobile Precision Mapping Solutions™ are recognized as the most advanced utility mapping system in the world and another patent issuance is validation that we are leading the industry in terms of development and innovation.”
