Visto Corporation, provider of remote e-mail and data access services, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in a Texas federal court against Good Technology.
Visto alleges Good Technology products such as GoodLink infringe on Visto's 9-year-old patents. The suit seeks a permanent injunction against GoodLink and what Visto calls Good Technology's "other infringing technology, which can power several mobile devices including the Palm Treo, HP's iPAQ hw6500, and the Motorola MPx220, among others." The suit also seeks monetary damages.
Visto, whose clients include Cingular Wireless, Sprint Nextel, the Vodafone Group, Rogers Wireless and others, currently holds 25 patents, including those related to mobile e-mail and data access systems, and has 57 patents pending. Individual and business subscribers get Visto Mobile service through their mobile phone carrier.
