Extended Systems, Intellisync settle patent dispute

BOISE, Idaho-Wireless enterprise and synchronization companies Extended Systems and Intellisync Corp. announced that they have mutually agreed to settle the ongoing patent infringement lawsuit initiated by Intellisync in April 2002. Intellisync was formerly called Pumatech Inc.

Under the settlement agreement, Extended Systems will make a one-time payment to Intellisync and receive a license to certain Intellisync patents, which Extended Systems acknowledges are valid. The companies said the payment covers estimated past and future royalties on revenue related to Extended Systems’ products shipped and covered under Intellisync’s licensed patents. Both companies agreed to hold off on any further patent litigation for five years and said Intellisync will release all Extended Systems customers from any claims of infringement relating to their purchase and future use of Extended Systems products.

Exact terms of the deal were not disclosed.
