o IBM Files Patent Infringement Suits Against Amazon.com

Research Triangle Park, N.C. - IBM has filed two patent infringement lawsuits against Amazon.com for unspecified damages. The company said that it filed the suit in two District Courts for the Eastern District of Texas after nearly four years of attempting to resolve the issues. "IBM's property is being knowingly and unfairly exploited," said John Kelly III, the senior vice president of IBM technology and intellectual property. The patents cover such processes as presenting applications in an interactive service, storing data in an interactive network and ordering items using an electronic catalogue. "Dating back to September 2002, IBM has notified Amazon.com numerous times of the infringement, but Amazon.com has shown no willingness to have meaningful discussions," IBM said in a statement.
