Amazon.com Inc. denies it violated IBM Corp. patents in building its massive retail Web site, and alleges instead that IBM infringed on Amazon's technology to beef up its own offerings. In countersuits filed Thursday in federal court in Texas, Amazon says IBM's previous legal claims of patent infringement are a meritless and misleading attempt to cash in on its vast patent holdings and Amazon's success. "IBM's broad allegations of infringement amount to a claim that IBM invented the Internet," Amazon's lawyers wrote in the filings. IBM did not return a phone message seeking comment Friday night. IBM, based in Armonk, N.Y., filed its lawsuits in October in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas. Texas has become a frequent site for patent cases because districts there move quickly and are perceived as relatively responsive to intellectual-property claims. Amazon, which this year will sell $10 billion worth of everything from books and CDs to pet supplies and jewelry, is accused of infringing on five IBM patents. IBM says the technologies covered by the patents govern how the site recommends products to customers, serves up advertising and stores data. In its counterclaims, Amazon denies the allegations and says IBM violated five of Amazon's patents, for ventures including IBM's WebSphere business software.

Novo Nordisk said it will continue to pursue its intellectual property suit against Pfizer Inc over the insulin product Exubera, despite the decision of a US district judge to dismiss a preliminary motion against the US drugmaker. Earlier today US District Judge Leonard Sand refused to immediately block sales of Pfizer's Exubera product, saying the public's need for a 'new and less invasive treatment for diabetes' outweighed Novo Nordisk's claims that Pfizer is infringing on its patents. Novo Nordisk said it does not regard the ruling as impairing the strength of its underlying case, and noted that the ruling involves only one of the five patents at issue in the case.
