Nokia Corp. will fight a patent-infringement complaint brought by a New Zealand company over technology used in nearly all of the Espoo, Finland-based manufacturer's mobile phones. "We will actively defend the rights of Nokia," a company spokeswoman said today. Michael S. Sutton Ltd. filed a complaint against Nokia in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, accusing the company of infringing on technology that prepares message packets for data transmission, according to documents filed with the court Monday. The company claims that its technology is used in numerous messaging applications on Nokia phones, including Short Messaging Service, Multimedia Messaging Service and Nokia's implementation of the Wireless Application Protocol. Sutton had previously filed the complaint against Nokia but then voluntarily dismissed it, according to the Nokia spokeswoman.

A Federal Court in New Jersey on Wednesday ruled on summary judgment that the contractor/homeowner matching service operated by InterActiveCorp's (IAC) subsidiary Service Magic, Inc. infringes a patent held by Source Search Technologies, LLC (SST). The Court rejected Service Magic's request to dismiss the infringement claim, characterizing a Service Magic argument as "beyond comprehension." SST is presently in litigation to enforce the patent against Service Magic and LendingTree, both IAC subsidiaries. "This is a big step forward for us against a defendant who has continually denied that they are infringing. We are confident our infringement claim against LendingTree will yield the same result" says Keith Giovannoli, Managing Partner of SST. SST owns patented technology which allows for the efficient matching of buyers and sellers over a computerized system.

Pall Corp. said Friday it filed a lawsuit against Entegris Inc., claiming that the company's filter cartridge line infringes four Pall patents. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, seeks compensatory damages and a permanent injunction barring Entegris from selling the products. A representative for Entegris could not immediately be reached for comment. The company said in April it filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Pall, alleging that some products in Pall's PhotoKleen line of fluid separation devices violate Entegris patents. Entegris is seeking an injunction against Pall to marketing those products. Pall makes filtration, separation and purification systems. Its products are used by industries ranging from biotechnology and pharmaceuticals to energy, electronics and transportation.
