SEVEN / Visto Dispute Ends Amicably

TMCnet Contributing Editor
 
A three-year old patent dispute between Visto Corporation and SEVEN Networks has come to an end as the two companies have arrived at a friendly settlement, agreeing to dismiss all pending legal claims.
 
Visto offers a popular platform that allows operators to provide mobile email.

As per the settlement, SEVEN, a provider of mobile messaging, has acknowledged the validity and enforceability of Visto’s patent portfolio. SEVEN has also accepted the licensing terms including monetary and non-monetary considerations. In addition, SEVEN has bought the license to the Visto Patent Portfolio.



"We are delighted by today’s announcement. Visto’s patent portfolio, which had been previously validated by the USPTO and the Federal courts, is now further strengthened through this agreement with SEVEN,” said Brian Bogosian, chairman, president and CEO of Visto Corporation in a statement to the press.
 


“This resolution underscores the importance of Visto’s contributions to the mobile communications industry and our commitment to protecting the intellectual property that we developed over a decade ago,” also commented Bogosian.
