Pitney Bowes Files Suit Against Zumbox
Stamford, Connecticut-based Pitney Bowes has filed a lawsuit against Zumbox, alleging its “paperless mail” service for consumers infringes Pitney Bowes' patents. The lawsuit was filed in California Central District Court and seeks, among other things, to stop Zumbox from further infringement.
“Pitney Bowes has been active in the acquisition, development and deployment of multi-channel messaging solutions, including those based on the platforms acquired from Alysis in 2000, Group 1 Software in 2004 and Emtex in 2006,” said Bernie Gracy, vice president, strategy and new business development, Pitney Bowes. “We continue to invest in these platforms and our intellectual property to introduce new physical and electronic messaging offerings as part of our longstanding customer communications management strategy.”
