According to this complaint, defendant Orbitz makes or uses systems and methods for managing dynamic Web page generation requests within the scope of one or more claims of the patents-in-suit.
Parallel Networks alleges that Orbitz has continued its infringing activities despite receiving notice of the patents when Parallel Networks sued its subsidiary Orbitz LLC in Parallel Networks LLC vs. Priceline.com Inc. et al, Case No. 2:08-cv-45-DF in Marshall.
The plaintiff claims it is therefore entitled to increased damages for willful infringement.
A jury trial is demanded.
Parallel Networks is seeking compensatory and increased damages, interest, costs, attorneys' fees, a permanent injunction against Orbitz and other relief deemed just and proper.
