America Online is facing a patent infringement suit filed by Klausner Technologies over AOL's Internet telephone services. Klausner Technologies, a New York company founded by inventor Judah Klausner, filed its patent suit in federal district court in Alexandria. The company is seeking $200 million in damages and royalties. The company contends it holds a patent for technology used by AOL Voicemail, AOL Call Alert, AOL by Phone and AOL VOIP. Specifically, it claims Dulles-based AOL is violating its intellectual property rights for technology that lets subscribers receive visual notification of new voice messages. "We have not seen a copy of the complaint, and can't comment on it at this time," says AOL spokesman Nicholas Graham. "Obviously, we will consider our legal options once we have had a chance to review it." "Because of the fast-paced docket in the Eastern District in Virginia, we expect a quick resolution of the matter and the prompt issuance of an injunction that will stop AOL from using this patented technology," said Greg Dovel, from Dovel & Luner, the law firm representing Klausner, says in a statement.

The Johnson & Johnson patent-infringement suit against Boston Scientific Corp. went to a jury Monday, after closing arguments that focused on the importance of cardiac-stent technology at stake in the case. Gregory Diskant, attorney for New Brunswick, N.J.-based J&J, said the groundbreaking invention of stenting technology, which keeps treated arteries open, "revolutionized cardiology." John Desmarais, attorney for Natick, Mass.-based Boston Scientific, told the eight jurors set to begin weighing charges of patent infringement that the Taxus Express stent - one of the devices on which J&J claims patent infringement - is "the most important cardiovascular stenting product in the world." Court papers say J&J is seeking $844 million in lost profits from Boston Scientific on the grounds it has taken market share with stents that infringe the landmark patent obtained by Julio Palmaz, the Texas doctor credited with inventing the idea to leave tiny metal scaffolds in clogged arteries.

Williams claimed he had discovered how to substantially reduce a cocktail of cancer-causing toxins known as tobacco-specific nitrosamines, or TSNAs, which develop during the curing process. By 1998, he was also trying to limit the carcinogens by quickly drying leaves with high temperatures and increased air flow, according to court documents. His company, Star Scientific Inc. of Chester, said in 1999 that Brown and Williamson had agreed to buy its "StarCured" tobacco. But shortly after learning of Star's innovation, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco announced a similar system to decrease nitrosamines, Star claims. In May 2001, Star Scientific sued RJR for patent infringement in a case that could have enormous repercussions for the industry. Any day now, a federal judge in Baltimore could issue rulings that will determine whether the dispute goes before a jury.
