BANGALORE, Nov 16 (Reuters) - U.S. navigation device maker Garmin denied it infringed any patents and said it intended to defend itself against a patent suit filed by Japanese consumer electronics maker Pioneer Corp, a Garmin spokesperson told Reuters. On Friday, Pioneer said in a statement that it had filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission (ITC) against Garmin alleging patent infringement, after license talks between the two broke down. Pioneer sought a ban on importing into the United States products that use the disputed patents and also seeks to prevent sales of such products that have already been imported, it had said. The three patents under dispute relate to on-vehicle navigational functions, including the automatic erasing of data as the destination draws near, or showing the distance from a vehicle to various locations. In October, Pioneer sued Garmin in a German district court alleging patent infringement and sought a court order enjoining sales of infringing Garmin products as well as seeking compensation, Pioneer said. Garmin's spokesperson declined to comment on the status of the case in Germany. Garmin's shares were trading up about 5 percent at $31.91 Monday afternoon on Nasdaq.
