Social networking company Reunion.com announced earlier this week it has filed a patent-infringement suit against online address-book maker Plaxo. Reunion.com is seeking damages and an injunction against Plaxo, which the company says is violating a patent Reunion.com acquired with the purchase of GoodContacts Research in 2004. GoodContacts developed a method for automatically updating and maintaining contact information within a database, and Reunion.com believes Plaxo's services infringe on that patent, officials say.
