The firm that provides New Jersey with an online automated negotiation process for no-fault insurance disputes violated another company's patents in creating its system, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Court Judge Mary L. Cooper in Trenton, N.J. issued a summary judgment last week on behalf of the online dispute resolution firm Cybersettle, Inc., in White Plains, N.Y., which brought its patent infringement claim against National Arbitration Forum, based in Minneapolis.
Charles Brofman, Cybersettle's president and chief executive officer, commented that the ruling "made sure that infringers just can't come along and swipe years of work and put products out as if they were their own invention."
