NetRatings Files for Patent Infringement

NetRatings has filed lawsuits against Coremetrics, Inc. and Omniture, Inc., in the US District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of four patents.

President and CEO William Pulver said the company would 'continue to monitor the marketplace to ensure that we are protecting our valuable intellectual property'.

'NetRatings has a strong heritage of both developing and acquiring innovative technologies to support our leading Internet media and market research products, and we have invested a significant amount of time and capital in building a comprehensive patent portfolio' said Pulver, pointing to the huge growth potential in the global Web analytics market and the company's intent to leverage its investments for that purpose.

Technology and intellectual property lawyers Brown Raysman Millstein Felder & Steiner LLP have been engaged to conduct the case. NetRatings owns or controls seven patents, US No.s 5,675,510; 5,796,952; 6,108,637; 6,115,680; 6,138,115; 6,643,696 and 6,763,386.
