Sendo Sues Orange for Patent Infringement

captnjameskirk writes "RCR Wireless News is reporting that Sendo is suing European carrier Orange for patent infringement involving the circuit board design within the phones. As the article points out, Sendo also sued Microsoft for allegedly stealing their technology for use in the Smartphone OS." Back in January, we also had some more information on the case between Sendo and Microsoft.

I don't know much about their patent claim, but I can say (after joining their developer program and communicating with them via email and phone), Sendo is one of the most unprofessional companies I have dealt with. I certainly wouldn't trust them (after having done so once already) by "sendoing" them any money.

1) "OMFG!!! Dirty bastards with their filthy circuit board patents. Board design and circuitry is so OBVIOUS once you've seen it. DEATH TO SENDO!"

2) "We need to set up a free foundation where people can donate circuit designs for the good of all humanity."

3) "If they have a case, then let's see the circuit designs released to the public. Won't show them to me without requiring an NDA? I TOLD you they were dirty liars"

4) "WRITE TO YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS TODAY, AND TELL THEM YOU DON'T SUPPORT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PATENTS! DON'T EMAIL THEM, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT EMAIL."
