Digital Envoy Suing Google Over Patent

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on March 31, 2004 - 3:47am.
Mountain View, Calif. -- Digital Envoy, a Georgia-based provider of technology that enables companies to uncover geographical information about online users based solely on their IP addresses, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Mountain View-based Google, the Internet search engine provider. Digital Envoy is alleging that Google is using its technology improperly to place advertisements on third-party web site, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reported. The license between the two companies restricts Google from using the technology for purposes other than search and from using it on other web sites, a Digital Envoy attorney told the newspaper. "Last year, Google got in the business of advertising," Kratz said. "When they did that, they took our technology with them... They've been making money on it. We haven't." He said the lawsuit probably will seek multi-millions of dollars in damages.
