Dallas-based SMS is the plaintiff.
It has pursued legal action in response to alleged infringement of United States Patent Number 6,657,553.
Recent court documents state that the ‘553, which is entitled “Method of Monitoring a Protected Space,” was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Dec. 2, 2003.
“At a high level, the claimed methods and apparatuses of the ’553 Patent detect signal events occurring at a protected space, code the signal events into a packetized message, and transfer these coded packet messages to a database,” the complaints explain. “The coded packet messages are stored in reserved areas and subareas of the database in accordance with the type of signal event and the respective protected space. Additionally, the coded message packets are accessible via the internet.”
SMS seeks unspecified monetary damages and a jury trial.
It is represented by attorney Andrew G. DiNovo and Daniel L. Schmid of the law firm DiNovo Price LLP in Austin.
