Agilent sues Elan Microelectronics over US 5,786,804 and 6,433,780

from a press release on Dec. 21, 2004:

Agilent Technologies Inc. has filed a lawsuit against Elan Microelectronics Corp. for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit asserts that Elan infringes Agilent's U.S. Patent No. 5,786,804 and U.S. Patent No. 6,433,780 relating to optical mouse sensor technology. Agilent is seeking an injunction and money damages.

Agilent had previously filed a lawsuit against PixArt Imaging Inc. alleging that PixArt infringed Agilent's U.S. Patent No. 6,433,780, which relates to optical mouse sensor technology. In October 2004, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted a motion by Agilent to add two patents (U.S. Patents No. 5,686,720 and 5,786,804) to the pending patent infringement lawsuit against PixArt.
