Savant Systems files a lawsuit against Crestron Electronics. The complaint charges Crestron with violations of U.S. antitrust laws.
Savant accuses Crestron of "threatening or financially dis-incentivizing dealers who offer or express an interest in offering Savant products". The company also believes that Crestron sought to exclude Savant from dealers reselling controllers to installers and end users.
Robert Madonna, Savant CEO, alleges some of Crestron's documents lie about Savant's products.
No examples of specific threats are provided.
Savant is requesting a jury by trial.
