Smartmatic announces that it has filed a lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems for breach of licensing agreements and “tortious interference” in the company’s business in Mongolia and Puerto Rico.
In a news release, Smartmatic says it seeks to challenge the June, 2010, sale of the assets of its former subsidiary Sequoia Voting Systems, alleging that the sale prevents the payment of compensation owed to Smartmatic for the use of technologies in multiple contracts for the supply and maintenance of electoral platforms.

Six days later, a Smartmatic press release makes no reference to the lawsuit over the acquisition of its former US subsidiary, Sequoia Voting Systems, but only to basic software errors by Dominion Voting Systems in the 2010 Philippine elections.

1. Why is Smartmatic alleging interference in the company’s business in Puerto Rico and Mongolia, if both companies signed confidentiality agreements?
2. Dominion previously declared that it did not have Smartmatic’s technology or software in its possession. In its declaration did Dominion commit perjury or did it not know the intellectual property of the assets acquired from Sequoia?
3. Did Dominion Voting Systems have payment or royalty agreements with Smartmatic for the use or licensing of its technology?
4. Why would Smartmatic argue that Puerto Rico is not part of the United States of America?
