Ergotron, Inc., a Nortek Company (NASDAQ: NTK), and global leader in the sit-stand workplace revolution, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit today against Humanscale in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. In its complaint, Ergotron alleges that Humanscale's QuickStand height-adjustable workstation infringes Ergotron's U.S. Patent Nos. 8,839,723 and 9,080,721, which embody Ergotron's WorkFit®-S sit-stand workstation. The complaint seeks money damages, attorneys' fees, and a permanent injunction to stop Humanscale's infringement.

Ergotron's WorkFit®-S Sit-Stand Workstation is a leading product in Ergotron's WorkFit® portfolio. It has won numerous awards including the Design Journal's Platinum ADEX Award, the Golden Bridge Award, and an ErgoExpo Attendee's Choice Award.

"Since 1982, Ergotron has been a pioneer in creating computer workstations designed to bring more movement and user comfort into the office workday, ultimately impacting wellness and productivity. We develop innovative workstation products that often establish a new market category," said Pete Segar, Ergotron CEO. "Ergotron's history of innovation and passion for differentiation requires significant investment in product development, market and wellness research, and marketing to ensure success."
