JACKSONVILLE, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 11/03/15 -- Duos Technologies Group (OTCQB: DUOT), a provider of intelligent security analytical technology solutions, has reached settlement on a long standing lawsuit involving its subsidiary, Duos Technologies, Inc. The settlement, which is premised on Duos' making a one-time payment of $550,000 by February 16, 2016, will also have a significant positive (non-cash) impact on the Company's earnings in 2015.
