NITV Prevails In Copyright Infringement Litigation

After a protracted legal battle, the U.S. Federal Court for the Southern District of Florida has found that the Global Voice Stress Analyzer (GVSA) is an infringement on the Computer Voice Stress Analyzer™ (CVSA^®).  The Court found that the GVSA is a copy of the CVSA software and that John Ryan of Australia; Patrick Flood, a former NITV instructor from California; International Truth Verification Systems Pty Ltd. (ITVS); and Final Analysis, LLC are guilty of copyright infringement.  A permanent injunction has been issued against Ryan, Flood, their entities, and their agents to prevent them from selling the GVSA or any other infringing version of it in the United States.  They were also found guilty of Trademark infringement.

Because of the finding and injunction by the federal court, any agency that purchased or acquired the GVSA, or any version of it, is required to surrender that system to the NITV as it has been found to contain software that is a pirated version of the CVSA in violation of US and international copyright laws.

The NITV currently has litigation pending against other individuals and entities, which also alleges copyright infringement.  The NITV has spent more than 20 years and considerable resources developing the CVSA and takes copyright infringement and theft of its intellectual property very seriously.  The NITV will continue to aggressively defend our intellectual property, regardless of the cost.
