    against Xerox Corp in a lawsuit accusing them of infringing the document
    management company’s patents on Internet searches.

    Technology
    In
    filings in Delaware federal court on Thursday, the defendants sought
    declarations that they did not infringe the two patents at issue, or
    variantly that the patents are invalid and thus cannot be enforced by
    Xerox.Xerox had sued Google, YouTube and Yahoo in February, claiming
    that Google services such as Google Maps, YouTube and AdSense
    advertising software, as well as Internet tools such as Yahoo Shopping,
    infringed two patents dating as far back as 2001.According to a court
    filing, Xerox contended its patents covered such technology as a system
    for generating queries for information relating to a document, and
    methods to integrate information from documents and other data.Xerox is
    seeking compensation for past infringements, and a ban on the
    defendants’ use of the technology.The case is Xerox Corp v. Google Inc
    et al, U.S. District Court, District of Delaware, No. 10-00136.
