Just when you thought the LightSquared situation was over, Harbinger 
Capital Partners, and other investors who backed LightSquared, has 
filed a $1.9 billion (yes, billion with a "b") lawsuit against Deere 
& Company, Garmin International, and Trimble Navigation, plus the 
U.S. GPS Industry Council and the Coalition to Save Our GPS.

Trimble has already announced that they will "vigorously" defend the suit.

Harbinger has also sued Dish Network Corp. and its chairman Charlie 
Ergen for $4 billion over allegedly improper purchases of 
LightSquared debt. Ergen reportedly bid over $2 billion last month to 
buy LightSquared.

LightSquared filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. 
Bankruptcy Code in May 2012.
