SAP wants ruling that its products don't infringe on Pi-Net's patents |
March 31, 2013
SAP has filed a court action against patent holder Pi-Net International, which it says has filed patent infringement lawsuits against a number of SAP customers.
The alleged infringements, which concern three Pi-Net patents, are associated with SAP's Financial Fusion software, which is used for online banking and other purposes. SAP gained the software through its 2010 acquisition of Sybase.
At least one SAP customer has asked the vendor to indemnify it against any liabilities that could ensue from Pi-Net's lawsuits, according to SAP's filing last week in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
SAP is seeking a declaratory judgment stating that its products don't infringe on Pi-Net's patents, a move that would shield both itself and customers from litigation.
