Alien vs. Intermec= industry all riled up

Friday, June 2, 2006

Seems everyone in the RFID industry’s got something to say about the Alien Technology lawsuit against Intermec, says a new story posted at RFID Update, which also displays Intermec’s response:

“Today’s action by Alien Technology is not unexpected. We continue to believe, as we stated during our last quarterly conference call on May 8, that Alien, among others, makes and sells products that infringe Intermec RFID patents. We have consistently said we will pursue those companies that infringe our intellectual property patent estate. We continue our due diligence related to these matters.”
