Canadian VoIP company, Mitel Networks Corporation, has acused US ShoreTel of infringing on four of its IP
communications patents and has filed a
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Texas. Mitel alleges ShoreTel infringes on U.S. Patent Nos. 5,940,834, 5,703,942, 5,541,983, and
5,657,446.
"Mitel has
invested significant resources into intellectual property in support of its
communications innovations, and we intend to assert our rights against those
that infringe that intellectual property," said Christian Szpilfogel,
Office of the CTO, Mitel.
A company statement regarding the matter stresses that "innovation has
been at the heart of Mitel's strategy" and that the company has "hundreds of patents and pending applications in the
United States, Canada and Europe".
Mitel has retained
the services of Fish & Richardson P.C., a national law firm with offices in
Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Dallas, Delaware, New York, San Diego, Silicon Valley,
Twin Cities, and Washington, DC.
