Media Sciences International Inc. on Monday said Xerox Corp. filed a patent infringement suit against the maker of office color printer supplies, seeking unspecified damages, injunctive relief and fees. The outcome of the litigation may have a material adverse effect on the company, Media Sciences said in a statement. In its complaint, filed in a New York court, Xerox alleged that Media Sciences' solid inks designed for use in the Xerox Phaser 8500 and 8550 printers infringed four Xerox-held patents. The patents were related to the shape of the ink sticks, Media Sciences said. The company said it did not infringe any valid U.S. patents and intended to defend the allegations. "Media Sciences has competed with Xerox in this market for nearly a decade, and we are disappointed that Xerox has moved this competition from the marketplace into the courtroom," said Michael Levin, chief executive and president of Media Sciences.

Blood test maker Gen-Probe Inc. said Thursday that it settled its patent disputes with drug maker Bayer HealthCare LLC, a member of the Bayer Group. Under the agreement, Gen-Probe will withdraw its patent infringement suit against Bayer, and will grant it immunity from legal action on Bayer's current nucleic acid diagnostic tests, and future Bayer products using four Gen-Probe patent families Bayer granted Gen-Probe immunity from suit on Gen-Probe's current and future Tigris instruments. Additionally, Bayer agreed to pay Gen-Probe lump sum royalties over the next 18 months. The first payment of $5 million will be made by Bayer within 15 days of execution of the final agreement. Bayer will also make a one-time royalty payment of $10.3 million during the calendar year 2007 if it sells any products that are subject to Gen-Probe's patents after 2007 begins. In 2008, Gen-Probe is entitled to a $16.4 million one-time royalty if Bayer sells products subject to Gen-Probe's patents. Also under the deal, Bayer will not be held responsible for reimbursing Gen-Probe of the $2 million it spent on legal expenses, which had originally been ordered by an arbitrator.

The Go Daddy Group, the Internet domain registrar that plans to go public, is being sued for patent infringement by Web.com, which provides services to business Web sites. Web.com sued Go Daddy on Monday in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, seeking both unspecified monetary damages and an injunction. A spokeswoman for Go Daddy, one of the best known Internet brands thanks to its racy Super Bowl TV commercials, declined to comment. At issue in the suit is a patent that enables customers to manage or change their Web sites remotely through a control panel which Web.com received in 2004, when the company was called Interland. The company changed its name to Web.com in March. "The patent at issue in this claim, and the technology it represents, constitutes valuable assets for the company, and an investment for which the company's shareholders expect to receive a return," Atlanta-based Web.com says in a 26-page complaint. "Web.com has been damaged and will be irreparably injured by Go Daddy's infringement and active inducement of infringement, for which Web.com has no adequate remedy at law."

Sigma-Aldrich Corp. and Oxford BioMedica have filed a lawsuit against Open Biosystems Inc. for infringement of patents that cover key lentiviral-based systems for delivery of foreign DNA to a broad array of mammalian cells. A lentivirus is a retrovirus, or one that has an RNA (ribonucleic acid) genome. The complaint, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, alleges that Open Biosystems is infringing on two U.S. patents. Rights to the patents, both titled Lentiviral LTR Deleted Vector, were exclusively licensed for research use to Sigma-Aldrich by Oxford BioMedica in October 2005. The suit states that, among other products, Open Biosystems' Lentiviral shRNAmir Library is marketed and sold to researchers and research institutions for incorporation into viral particles that infringe one or more claims of the patents. Sigma-Aldrich said in a release that the lawsuit filed against Open Biosystems is a result of the company's "desire to actively protect its intellectual property in this field."
