Oracle Sued by I2 for Patent Infringement
Oracle has been sued for alleged patent infringement by supply chain management vendor i2 Technologies, i2 said on Wednesday.
The suit charges Oracle with infringing on 11 of i2's patents. I2 is seeking monetary damages and royalty payments, or else an injunction to block the alleged infringement.
The suit doesn't say which Oracle products are alleged to misuse i2's technology. Oracle sells several lines of supply chain management software, including products it inherited when it bought J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, which is seen as a friendly venue to patent plaintiffs.
