HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 10, 2006--Headworks Inc. announced that it had negotiated a settlement and dismissed its lawsuit filed in US Federal District Court against USFilter Corporation, a company of the Siemens Group Industrial Solutions and Services, for alleged infringement of Headworks' patents and other proprietary rights.

USFilter agreed, among other conditions, "not to market or offer for sale" the Headworks(R) Bar Screen, also known as the Mahr(TM) Bar Screen, or the screen known as the E&M Inclined Bar Screen, being offered for sale by Gernot Mahr and Engineering & Manufacturing, Ltd. for water or waste water treatment plants. The lawsuit alleged that USFilter's affiliation with Mahr and E&M violated non-competition provisions between Headworks and Mahr and caused confusion in the market place.
