Patent Fight Pits Former Wireless, RFID Partners
Intermec which has recently been criticized for threatenting to require royalties for IP included as part of the EPC Gen 2 standard, has, in turn, been sued by former partner Symbol technology for using Symbol's IP.
"Symbol believes that Intermec's imposition of its RFID IP on the industry is potentially harmful to the industry and customers," Symbol senior vice president and general counsel Peter Lieb said in a statement.
Analysts say they don't think the two companies will risk stalling the entire RFID industry while they sort things out. If they don't wise-up soon, my money's on China.
