It is a rule of innovative business that you can tell a new technology has broken through once the patent lawsuits start flying. In this case, Satellite Tracking of People (STOP) LLC is suing everyone else.

STOP’s federal complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent No. Re 39,909, entitled “Tracking System for Locational Tracking of Monitored Persons,” by Omnilink with its one-piece OM 200 device and system, by ProTech with its one-piece MTD3000 SMART(r) One Wearable Miniature Tracking Device and system, and by SecureAlert with its one-piece TrackerPAL device and system. The complaint seeks a permanent injunction prohibiting Omnilink, ProTech, and SecureAlert from continuing to offer in the United States their unlicensed one-piece locational tracking products.

We will be hearing more about this I am sure.
