small Scottsdale company has sued copier giant Xerox Corp. and five
other companies, alleging they are infringing on its patent for
enhancing the images of scanned documents.GTX Corp. filed the lawsuit
Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Tyler, Texas, asking for damages
and to have the companies stop infringing on its patent.The company
alleges that it met for years with Xerox and its Japanese affiliate,
Fuji-Xerox Co. Ltd., over potential licensing agreements, and that the
companies knowingly began using GTX’s technology in their DocuWork
software without its permission.Xerox, based in Stamford, Conn., had
not been served with the lawsuit and could not comment, spokeswoman
Christa Carone said Friday.GTX also sued Eastman Kodak Co. of
Rochester, N.Y.; Kofax Imaging Products Inc. of Irvine, Calif.; Pegasus
Imaging Corp. of Tampa; Nuance Communications Inc. of Burlington,
Mass.; and Lead Technologies Inc. of Charlotte, N.C., claiming
infringements.GTX, which was founded in 1984 by Marvin Ling and has 12
employees, develops software for computer-assisted design users. The
company applied for a patent on image-enhancing technology in 2000 and
received it March 21.
