Parus Holdings, Inc., a pioneer in voice-enabled technologies,
announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S.
Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas against
Microsoft, Inc. The lawsuit alleges that Microsoft infringes on Parus's
patent for voice-browsing and device control technology. The lawsuit is
based on U.S. Patent No. 6,721,705. Parus is seeking all available
remedies, including damages against Microsoft for all of its infringing
sales. The lawsuit asserts that the infringement has been "willful," and
requests that the defendant be ordered to pay treble damages and
Parus'attorneys' fees, and be permanently enjoined from infringing the
Parus Patent.
"Parus innovates, designs, services, and sells
best-in-class voice-enabled products and solutions around the world,"
said Taj Reneau, Chairman and CEO of Parus. "Parus has taken this action
to protect the company's significant investments in developing
innovative products and services that help our customers."
