SAN JOSE – A Washington corporation has filed suit against a consumer electronics manufacturer over allegations it infringed a patent relating to the protection of electronic devices and systems from unauthorized use.

SoftVault Systems Inc. filed a complaint on April 25 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Sony Dadc US Inc. alleging patent infringement.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that between June 19, 2001, and July 15, 2003, it was issued the '868 and '765 patent and was damaged when these patents were infringed by the defendant. The plaintiff holds Sony Dadc US Inc. responsible because the defendant allegedly manufactures and distributes systems that practice the patents currently owned by plaintiff.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks payment of all damages permanently enjoin the defendant from infringing patents owned by the plaintiff, award of prejudgment and post-judgment interest, all legal fees and any other relief as this court deems just. It is represented by Mark W. Wood of Terra Law LLP in San Jose and Jonathan T. Suder, Corby R. Vowell and Todd I. Blumenfeld of Friedman, Suder & Cooke in Fort Worth, Texas.
