Plaintiff Valmont claims to own the rights to U.S. Patent No. 7,466,286 issued Dec. 16, 2008, for a Folding Frame for Mounting an Antenna.
Valmont alleges defendants Eupen Cable, Nello Inc. and Structural Components LLC are infringing the '286 Patent by making, using, selling or distributing antenna mounts covered by the patent.

In addition, Valmont claims it sent Eupen, Nello and Structural Components actual notice of the issued '286 Patent on Dec. 16, 2008.
